Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that behaves like the GLP-1 hormone that is naturally released after eating. Semaglutide works by reducing appetite, delaying gastric emptying, increasing insulin release, and lowering the amount of glucagon released. Injection is given 1 time a week under the skin of the stomach (belly), the thigh, or the upper arm. One vial per month.
