Overview

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, chronic weight management in obesity or overweight adults with at least one weight-related comorbidity, and to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in certain populations. It works by mimicking endogenous GLP-1 to stimulate insulin secretion, suppress glucagon release, delay gastric emptying, and reduce appetite. Semaglutide is available as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection (Ozempic and Wegovy) or as a daily oral tablet (Rybelsus). Developed by Novo Nordisk, it was first approved for type 2 diabetes in 2017 and later for chronic weight management[1][3][5][7].
