Description

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for managing type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is available in both subcutaneous and oral formulations and has benefits in weight loss and blood sugar control.  

Synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonists work in a similar way to the natural GLP-1 hormone. They attach to GLP-1 receptors in the body and help lower blood sugar by triggering the pancreas to release insulin. This makes them effective for managing glucose levels without causing dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). They also lead to an overall reduction in food intake, which is why GLP-1 receptor agonists are increasingly used for weight management.

Important information and side effects

Semaglutide injections should be used on the same day each week at any time of day. If you also use insulin, be careful not to mix the two products. 

Side Effects

The main side effects of GLP-1 therapies are gastrointestinal. These include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Local injection site reactions may also occur. Other more serious but less frequent side effects include acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and gallbladder issues. Using this drug for weight management may reduce lean body mass if not combined with exercise.
