Description

How It Works
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone in the body. It works by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high, reducing glucagon secretion from the liver, and slowing gastric emptying. These actions help improve blood glucose control and increase feelings of fullness, which can reduce appetite and calorie intake.

Indications for Use
Used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels. It is also used in weight management programs for individuals with obesity or overweight conditions, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Proper Use and Dosage
Administered via subcutaneous injection once weekly, as directed by a healthcare professional. Dosage is individualized based on treatment response and medical evaluation. Consistent monitoring of blood glucose levels and overall metabolic response is recommended during use.
