Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication. GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in your gut that helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion.

Semaglutide works in several ways to promote weight loss:

• Reduces appetite: It increases feelings of fullness and satisfaction, leading you to eat less.

• Slows digestion: Semaglutide delays stomach emptying, keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

• Increases insulin production: This helps your body store excess glucose (sugar) for energy, reducing cravings.

• Decreases glucagon: Glucagon is a hormone that raises blood sugar and can increase hunger. Semaglutide lowers glucagon levels, further reducing appetite.

Semaglutide has demonstrated notable weight loss effects in clinical studies. On average, participants have achieved weight loss ranging from approximately 10% to 15% of their body weight over a period of around 68 to 68 weeks. Individual results may vary based on factors such as adherence to treatment, diet, exercise, and individual health conditions.

The most common side effects of Semaglutide are related to the digestive system and typically go away within a few weeks of starting the medication. These include:

• Nausea (around 30%)
