Semaglutide is an injectable medication originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes that has shown great promise in recent years as a weight loss aid. It works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake.
When used for weight loss, semaglutide helps people feel more satisfied after eating smaller portions. It also decreases ghrelin, the "hunger hormone." With a calorie-reduced diet and exercise program, semaglutide users typically lose 15-18% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
There are many potential benefits to using prescription semaglutide for weight loss, including:
