What is semaglutide and what is it for?

Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is an analogue of the hormone GLP-1, which is a hormone produced in the small intestine. GLP-1 helps control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production by the pancreas and reducing glucose production by the liver. It also helps reduce appetite.

Semaglutide is available in two forms: a weekly injection given subcutaneously, and orally

Semaglutide Uses

  • Type 2 diabetes:  Semaglutide is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
  • Obesity:  Semaglutide is used to treat obesity in adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher, or with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or higher and at least one obesity-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

How semaglutide works

Semaglutide works by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the small intestine. This triggers a series of effects that help control blood sugar levels and reduce appetite.

Semaglutide is an effective medication for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, it is important to talk to a doctor about the risks and benefits of this medication before taking it.
