Medication Details: All About Semaglutide
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes. It is now also used in weight management under various brand names.
How It Works:
Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite and blood sugar. It slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, and stimulates insulin release in response to meals.
Dosage & Administration:
Semaglutide is typically administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Doses are gradually increased over weeks to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
Side Effects & Safety:
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Rare risks include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and thyroid C-cell tumors. Not recommended during pregnancy.
Conditions Treated:
Semaglutide is commonly used to support the management of:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Chronic weight management (in patients with BMI ≥27 with weight-related conditions or ≥30)
