Semaglutide is a medication used to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to aid in weight loss for certain patients. It works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar and appetite, leading to improved insulin production and reduced hunger.

Semaglutide is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes or those who are overweight or obese and have related health issues. However, it is not recommended for individuals with a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or a family history of endocrine-related tumors. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if Semaglutide is right for you.

Semaglutide is available as an injection administered once a week, either with or without food. Always follow the dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the directions included with the medication.

The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. These side effects often decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
