Semaglutide Semaglutide is a medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Its chemical structure is similar to that of human GLP-1, with a few amino acid substitutions that make it more resistant to enzyme degradation, resulting in a longer duration of action. Semaglutide is administered via subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. It works by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon release, leading to lower blood sugar levels. In addition to its blood sugar-lowering effects, semaglutide has also been shown to promote weight loss. The medication has demonstrated efficacy in improving glycemic control and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Its convenient weekly dosing and potential for weight loss make it a valuable option for many individuals with type 2 diabetes.
