Primary Benefits
Semaglutide is in a drug class called incretin mimetics. It works like the incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). Incretins are hormones that are released by cells in the gastrointestinal tract (gut). They stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin and lower blood sugar.
GLP-1s also act on the brain to modulate your appetite and reduce hunger, which can help you lose weight. Wegovy and other GLP-1 medications bind to receptors on stomach cells, slowing stomach emptying, which makes you feel full longer. Decreased hunger and slower stomach emptying make it easier to lose weight.
Benefits of Semaglutide
The biggest benefit of semaglutide is that it is an effective medication for weight management. In clinical trials, participants taking semaglutide had an average weight loss of 10% to 16% of their starting body weight.
Semaglutide is administered once a week via a subcutaneous injection. A subcutaneous injection is one in which a small needle is used to inject the medication just under the skin’s surface.
Another benefit is that semaglutide is designed to be taken long-term.
Side Effects of semaglutide
All medications have side effects. The most common side effects of all GLP-1 agonists are gastrointestinal. These side effects generally improve as your body adapts to taking semaglutide. However, it is important to never take another medication containing semaglutide or another GLP-1 agonist as long as you take semaglutide. GLP-1 agonists lower your blood sugar. Taking more than the prescribed dose or taking more than one GLP-1 agonist simultaneously can cause dangerously low blood sugar and increase medication side effects.
