Semaglutide NEW

Semaglutide, an amino-acid peptide, is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and as an anti-obesity agent for weight management. Similar to the hormone GLP-1, it functions as a receptor agonist, enhancing insulin production and inhibiting glucagon release. It improves glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes and aids in long-term weight management in obese or overweight adults with weight-related comorbidities. Semaglutide also reduces food intake by decreasing appetite and delaying gastric emptying, contributing to body fat reduction.
