What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide, commonly known by brand names like Ozempic and WeGovy, is a medication that was originally designed to help people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It mimics the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which stimulates the release of insulin to control blood sugar. This process limits gluconeogenesis, or glucose production, in the liver and slows gastric emptying, helping users feel fuller, longer.
Semaglutide is a powerful tool in managing diabetes and losing weight — combined with diet and exercise, many users see drastic changes in their weight in weeks or months. And because it has an extremely long half-life in the body, it can be administered in a simple once-a-week injection.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Semaglutide and what is it used for?
Semaglutide is a medication used to control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It can be used alongside diet and exercise when these alone do not provide adequate control. It is also approved for weight management in certain cases.
How does Semaglutide work in the body?
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics the function of GLP-1, a hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It works by stimulating the release of insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar, and by inhibiting the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar.
What are the potential side effects of taking Semaglutide?
Common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and decreased appetite. It may also cause more serious side effects such as kidney problems, changes in vision, or pancreatitis. If you experience any of these serious side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
How is Semaglutide administered?
Semaglutide is administered via subcutaneous injection, which means it's injected under the skin. It's typically given once a week.
Can Semaglutide be used for weight loss?
Yes, Semaglutide has been shown to aid in weight loss, and it is approved for this use in certain cases, often when obesity is associated with at least one weight-related comorbidity like hypertension or type 2 diabetes.
How does Semaglutide interact with other medications?
Semaglutide may interact with other medications, including insulin or sulfonylureas, which can increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Always let your healthcare provider know about all other medications you're taking before starting Semaglutide.
Is it safe to take Semaglutide during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The safety of Semaglutide during pregnancy or while breastfeeding is not fully known. It should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus. It is not known if Semaglutide passes into breast milk. Always consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the potential risks and benefits.

Who is not a candidate for Semaglutide?
