Semaglutide
Overview
Semaglutide is a clinically proven GLP‑1 receptor agonist designed to support weight management, type 2 diabetes control, and cardiometabolic health. Available in both weekly injectable and daily oral tablet formats, semaglutide works by mimicking the natural incretin hormone GLP‑1, helping regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels.
