What is Semaglutide?

About Semaglutide:

• It is a prescription medication used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes.
  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high.
• Semaglutide works by increasing insulin levels in your body, which decreases your blood sugar (glucose).
• It also reduces the amount of glucose, or sugar, produced by the liver, and slows down how quickly food is digested.
• Semaglutide can also lead to weight loss. This is because it slows down how quickly food is digested.
• Semaglutide resembles a natural hormone, GLP-1, released from the body after eating.
• It may also be used to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with type 2 diabetes.
• Changes to diet are often combined with this medication.
