Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for chronic weight management and control of high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
Semaglutide works by acting like a hormone called GLP-1 that is released naturally in the body after eating. It slows digestion, curbs appetite, and increases feelings of fullness which allows people to eat less and lose weight. It also regulates blood sugar levels.
There are a few ways that semaglutide promotes weight loss:
In addition to significant weight loss, semaglutide has been shown to provide the following benefits:
Semaglutide can only be prescribed by a licensed medical provider and requires training on proper injection technique. Equilibrium Hormone Institute has extensive experience with semaglutide shots and protocols.
