Semaglutide is a revolutionary new medication that mimics the effects of a hormone called GLP-1 in the body, which helps to regulate appetite and food intake. It has been approved by the FDA for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition.
Semaglutide is typically administered as a once-weekly injection and has been shown to lead to significant weight loss in clinical trials. Semaglutide is sold under various brand names.
