Semaglutide is a new injectable medication that is approved by the FDA for weight loss. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means that it works by mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 hormone. GLP-1 is a hormone that is produced naturally in the body and helps to regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and digestion.
Semaglutide has been shown to be very effective for weight loss. People who took semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Semaglutide is also effective for maintaining weight loss. In a clinical trial, people who took semaglutide for 68 weeks and then stopped taking it were able to maintain their weight loss for an additional 52 weeks.
Semaglutide is safe and well-tolerated. The most common side effects are mild and go away on their own. The most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
