Semaglutide

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a cutting-edge medication designed for the management of type 2 diabetes and as an aid in weight management for adults with obesity or overweight conditions. It functions by mimicking the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which is instrumental in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. This innovative treatment has shown significant promise in improving glycemic control and facilitating weight loss, offering a dual approach to managing these interconnected health concerns.

How Semaglutide Works


For individuals with type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide operates by stimulating insulin release in response to elevated blood glucose levels, thereby aiding in the control of blood sugar. Furthermore, it slows down gastric emptying, contributing to a decrease in appetite and caloric intake, which is beneficial for weight management.


Type 2 Diabetes Management


  • Improves Blood Sugar Control: By enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, Semaglutide helps maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

  • Lowers the Risk of Major Cardiovascular Events: Semaglutide has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.


Weight Management


  • Effective Weight Loss: Clinical trials have demonstrated significant weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

  • Long-term Management: Semaglutide offers a sustainable option for chronic weight management, addressing one of the most challenging aspects of obesity treatment.

    Yes, oral Semaglutide can be used in combination with other diabetes medications, including metformin and sulfonylureas.

    If you forget to take a dose of oral Semaglutide, take it as soon as possible on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before the next meal, drink, or other oral medications. Should it be almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose entirely and take the next dose as per your usual schedule. Do not take two doses simultaneously to make up for a missed dose.
