What is semaglutide?

Semaglutide 5 MG X 1ML.

Semaglutide is a anti-diabetic and anti-obesity medication which is used to treat patients of type 2 diabetes and in long term weight management.

It impersonates GLP-1 hormone which is released in the gut and leads to insulin production which decreases body glucose level.

Mechanism of action of Semaglutide:

• It is a glucagon-like 1 peptide (GLP-1) agonist.
• It increases the amount of insulin released and decreases the level of glucagon in the body.
• Moreover, it delays emptying of the stomach and also reduces your appetite. When the stomach carries food for a greater time period, it sends signals of “fullness” to the brain. 
• The result of this process is an influential hunger subduing or vanquishing effect based on the patient’s own capacity to produce insulin. Patients don’t need to go through any surgeries or heavy medication in order to lose weight.
