Semaglutide

Semaglutide (Brand names Ozempic or Wegovy) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. When Semaglutide is administered via a once weekly injection, it stimulates the release of insulin and suppresses the release of glucagon, both of which help lower blood sugar levels. It also slows down the emptying of the stomach and reduces feelings of hunger, which can lead to a decrease in food intake and weight loss. In addition to these effects, Semaglutide may also increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, which can help improve glucose metabolism.

Overall, the combination of its effects on appetite, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism make Semaglutide an effective tool for promoting weight loss in individuals who are overweight or obese. However, like all medications, It should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet plan and a healthy lifestyle for maximum benefits.
