Semaglutide is a prescription medication, sold under brand names like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus, used to treat type 2 diabetes and manage chronic weight. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, it helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite by mimicking hormones that signal fullness.
Mechanism: It mimics the GLP-1 hormone to increase insulin production, reduce glucagon secretion, and slow stomach emptying, making you feel full longer.
