WHAT IS A SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTION?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that functions by mimicking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone the body naturally produces. When GLP-1 is released, it targets various receptors in the body to help stimulate insulin release, suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying, and increasing feelings of fullness.
