Semaglutide is a prescription medication used for weight management and type 2 diabetes treatment. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a naturally occurring hormone in the body. Semaglutide works by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and slowing down digestion. It's typically administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection. The drug has gained significant attention for its effectiveness in promoting weight loss, with many users experiencing substantial reductions in body weight when combined with diet and exercise. Semaglutide is marketed under brand names like Wegovy for weight loss and Ozempic for diabetes management.

Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. When injected, semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors throughout the body, particularly in the brain and digestive system. This binding triggers several effects: it slows down stomach emptying, which promotes a feeling of fullness; it reduces appetite by affecting the brain's hunger and satiety centers; and it stimulates the release of insulin while suppressing glucagon production, helping to regulate blood sugar. These combined actions lead to reduced food intake and increased metabolic efficiency, ultimately resulting in weight loss and improved glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. The injection is usually given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It comes in pre-filled, disposable pens that are designed for ease of use, allowing patients to self-administer the medication at home after proper training.

The dosage often starts low and is gradually increased over several weeks to minimize side effects. For weight loss (Wegovy), the typical maintenance dose is 2.4 mg once weekly. For diabetes management (Ozempic), the dose may be lower, often 0.5 mg or 1 mg weekly.

It's important to follow the prescribed schedule and dosage carefully for optimal results and safety.
