What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication used to support weight loss and treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 analogues, which mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1). Semaglutide works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, helping users eat less and reduce calorie intake. The medication also slows gastric emptying and regulates blood sugar levels.

Semaglutide is available under brand names such as Wegovy. The most common side effects are nausea and abdominal discomfort.
