Injectable
Semaglutide is a medication in a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It mimics a naturally occurring hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1) that your body releases after eating. It's a prescription medication and should only be used under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.
Semaglutide works in a few ways: it helps regulate blood sugar by prompting the release of insulin when glucose is high, it slows how quickly your stomach empties so you feel full longer, and it acts on appetite-regulating areas of the brain to reduce hunger. Together these effects can support blood sugar management and, in appropriate patients, weight management.
Semaglutide is prescribed for specific uses depending on the formulation — some versions are approved for type 2 diabetes, others for chronic weight management in adults who meet certain criteria. Whether it's right for you is a decision to make with your provider based on your medical history.
