Semaglutide is an injectable medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
Semaglutide works by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high, slowing digestion to reduce the rate glucose enters the bloodstream after a meal, and reducing food cravings leading to decreased calorie intake. Using semaglutide can result in improved HbA1c (a measure of long-term blood sugar control), weight loss, and reduced risk of diabetes complications.
Benefits of semaglutide treatment include:
Semaglutide is taken as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, indigestion, dizziness, fatigue, and constipation. These tend to be mild or moderate and improve with time.
