What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription weight loss medication that can help control your cravings, blood sugar regulation, and appetite to achieve weight loss!
- Semaglutide is a weight loss medication received by once weekly injection
- Semaglutide has additional health benefits in addition to weight management
How Does Semaglutide Work?
- Slows down stomach emptying so that after eating, you feel full longer 1
- Suppresses appetite and food cravings (on average, patients eat ~30% less) 1
- Lowers blood glucose levels (without making glucose levels too low) 1
Your body naturally produces several substances that affect your appetite. One of these is called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The body produces GLP-1 naturally when you eat. GLP-1 stops you from feeling hungry and makes you feel full or satisfied.
Semaglutide imitates GLP-1 in the body. This means that Semaglutide provides the same effect as this natural substance (GLP-1) in our bodies.
Reduced food intake: Because Semaglutide reduces feelings of hunger, you eat less.
Effect on plaques in your blood vessels: In animal studies, Semaglutide stopped the progression of plaque formation in blood vessels. This is likely why Semaglutide has also been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and strokes. 2

Is semaglutide the same thing as Ozempic or Wegovy?
Ozempic and Wegovy are two brand names that are used to market injectable semaglutide.
