Everything you need to know about Injectable compounded Semaglutide
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 drug prescribed to individuals who are obese or overweight and have at least one weight-related medical problem, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, for the control of chronic weight.
Semaglutide functions by imitating the actions of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a substance that helps control hunger and blood sugar levels. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Semaglutide for weight loss, and it can only be obtained with a prescription.
Semaglutide is a powerful selective GLP-1 receptor agonist and has been demonstrated to lessen appetite and heighten the feeling of fullness in subjects with a high BMI of over 27, with comorbidities such as hypertension or dyslipidemia, or individuals who have obesity (BMI of over 30).
Is Semaglutide effective for weight loss?
Semaglutide is one of the most effective and dependable ways to lose weight quickly and safely.
A previous study of 2,000 obese adults compared people who used semaglutide along with a diet and exercise program to people who made the same lifestyle changes but did not use semaglutide. Half of the participants taking semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight after 68 weeks, and nearly a third lost 20%. Participants who only made lifestyle changes lost 2.4% of their body weight.
How does semaglutide work?
Semaglutide helps you lose weight by reducing your appetite and how much food you eat by acting like GLP-1. Your body naturally produces GLP-1, which interacts with your brain to control your hunger and calorie intake.
After meals, GLP-1s trigger the pancreas to generate insulin to lower blood sugar levels. They also interact with brain receptors to reduce appetite. As a result of the chemicals released by these receptors, you feel less hungry. GLP-1s are organic substances, but they don't linger for very long in the human body. Because of this, taking GLP-1s—even though your body already makes them—can aid in weight loss.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide that acts like a naturally occurring hormone in the body called GLP-1. Semaglutide works by slowing the stomach from emptying, which helps you feel full after eating.
Semaglutide also slows down the rate at which sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream, which helps keep blood sugar levels under control
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus brand-name medicines.
