What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an FDA approved injectable weight loss medication that is a game-changer in weight loss management. Semaglutide injection is a prescription medicine taken once weekly to lower blood sugar. Semaglutide works with your body’s own ability to lower blood sugar and A1C. Semaglutide works by increasing the amount of insulin produced in the pancreas and by decreasing the amount of glucagon produced by the liver. This combination results in reduced hunger and increased energy levels, leading to weight loss.
Semaglutide works 3 different ways to lower your blood sugar.
