What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a prescription medication for type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management. Recent studies have shown that it can also be effective in promoting weight loss. It works by reducing your appetite and helping you feel fuller for longer periods of time. It also slows down the movement of food through your gut, which can further contribute to weight loss.

This drug works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) which the body naturally produces to regulate hunger and blood sugar levels.

Semaglutide helps your body produce more insulin when your blood sugar levels are too high. It also works in the GI tract by slowing gastric motility, which means food stays in your stomach longer and prolongs the feeling of fullness. For that reason, it can be a great weight loss aid.

Can I Take Semaglutide if I Am Not Diabetic?

Semaglutide was developed as an antidiabetic medication, but you don’t need to have type 2 diabetes to experience the benefits. A randomized controlled trial from 2021 found semaglutide was an effective weight loss drug for overweight and obese non-diabetic adults. It may also lower your risk of obesity-related conditions like heart attack and stroke.

How Do I Use Semaglutide for Weight Loss?

Semaglutide can be administered subcutaneously. The dose will vary depending on the brand and the individual. Typically, adults taking Semaglutide for chronic weight management inject once weekly. However, adjustments can be made as needed under medical guidance.

What are the Side Effects of Semaglutide?

The most common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps. Thyroid tumors including cancer are a rare but serious side effect of Semaglutide. Other rare side effects include inflammation of the pancreas, changes in vision, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergies, and kidney or gallbladder problems.
