Semaglutide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs).
Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 is naturally produced in the intestines and helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar levels). GLP-1 also slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps to reduce appetite and promote weight loss.
