How Semaglutide works

Semaglutide mimics the actions of the hormone GLP-1, which is produced by the gut and aids in controlling blood sugar levels. GLP-1 lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the synthesis of insulin and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Additionally, it lessens hunger and slows down how quickly food leaves the stomach, both of which can help with weight loss.

The way Semaglutide works is by attaching to the same receptors in the body as the natural hormone GLP-1. The same biological reactions as GLP-1 are triggered once Semaglutide binds to these receptors, including an increase in insulin production and a decrease in the liver's synthesis of sugar.

Semaglutide has a longer half-life in the body than certain other GLP-1 receptor agonists, making it a long-acting drug which means you only need to take it once per week!

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication that is used to control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists because it binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, a protein that plays a crucial role in controlling blood sugar levels.

Semaglutide mimics the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that is naturally produced in the body. GLP-1 helps to control blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin (a hormone that lowers blood sugar) when blood sugar levels are high, reducing the amount of glucose produced and released by the liver, and slowing gastric emptying.

Semaglutide is available as an injectable solution that can be administered once a week. It's often used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and has demonstrated dramatic decreases in weight within months of starting treatment. In fact, many people see up to a 15% decrease in weight within 4 months!

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.
