Semaglutide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight status in the context of additional health issues. It's similar to a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.

How does Semaglutide work for diabetes

Semaglutide works by mimicking the functions of the GLP-1 hormone, which is involved in regulating blood sugar, especially after eating. It enhances the secretion of insulin, which lowers blood sugar, and reduces the amount of glucagon being released, which prevents the liver from producing too much sugar.

Can Semaglutide help with weight loss

Yes, semaglutide can aid in weight loss. It does this by reducing appetite and calorie intake, which may lead to weight loss. It is used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management.

What are the side effects of Semaglutide

Common side effects of semaglutide can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. There are also some more serious potential side effects like pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis), changes in vision, or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when used with other diabetes medications

How is Semaglutide administered

Semaglutide is available as an injectable solution; it is usually injected once a week under the skin (subcutaneously) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

Who should not take Semaglutide

Semaglutide should not be used by individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or by those with a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Patients with a history of pancreatitis should consult with their healthcare provider before starting Semaglutide.

How long does it take for Semaglutide to work

While the effects on blood sugar levels can be observed shortly after starting the treatment, significant weight loss with semaglutide is typically seen over a period of several weeks to months.

Where can I get Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a prescription medication, so it must be prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is available from pharmacies, but due to its specific uses, it may not be suitable for everyone. Always seek medical advice before starting any new medication.
