Semaglutide works by |
- REDUCING HUNGER
- DELAYING GASTRIC EMPTYING
- AND INDUCING A SENSE OF FULLNESS AFTER MEALS
Semaglutide is administered once a week by a small injection.
Semaglutide is a medication classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It is primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and, more recently, for weight management. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of natural GLP-1 hormones in the body, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes insulin secretion, reduces appetite, and slows down gastric emptying. This multifaceted action makes semaglutide effective in controlling blood sugar levels in diabetic patients and aiding in weight loss for individuals struggling with obesity. It is typically administered as a once-weekly injection.
Semaglutide acts like GLP-1 (a gut hormone) to:
-Increase insulin production
-Decrease glucagon synthesis
-Delay gastric emptying
-Suppress hunger
It signals your brain that you are full so you can loose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself.

Yes, semaglutide and Ozempic are closely related, but they are not exactly the same. Semaglutide is the active ingredient found in Ozempic. Ozempic is a brand name medication that contains semaglutide as its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion.
So, while semaglutide is the generic name of the medication, Ozempic is one of the brand names under which it is sold. There may be other brand names for medications containing semaglutide as well.
