Semaglutide is a medication classified as a GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, approved for treating type 2 diabetes and supporting weight loss.
Benefits of Semaglutide:
- Improves insulin resistance: Helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
- Suppresses appetite and reduces cravings: Promotes a feeling of fullness.
- Slows digestion: Delays gastric emptying, making you feel full longer.
- Boosts energy and burns fat: Supports weight loss and improves metabolic health.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1, released by the gut in response to eating. This hormone helps the body produce insulin, lowering blood sugar. It has been used for over 15 years to manage type 2 diabetes.
At higher doses, Semaglutide also interacts with the brain to suppress appetite, leading to significant weight loss. When combined with diet and exercise, it can reduce the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer in overweight or obese individuals.
How It Works:
Semaglutide mimics natural hormones that signal the brain you’re full. It slows digestion, allowing food to stay in the stomach longer, similar to the effects of bariatric surgery.
Key Benefits:
- Weight Loss: Significant weight loss, reducing risks of heart disease and diabetes.
- Proven Effectiveness: Clinical trials show an average weight loss of 15% body weight.
- Improved Metabolic Health: Lowers cardiovascular risks and improves blood sugar control.
- Appetite Suppression: Controls hunger by mimicking GLP-1, the hormone that regulates appetite.

- Dizziness
