What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2021 for weight loss. It is combined with a low-calorie diet and exercise program to help people lose weight. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that works by increasing insulin release, decreasing glucagon release, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. Semaglutide is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes.
