Vial Semaglutide

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a class of medications, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), commonly used to manage type 2 diabetes and increasingly recognized for their effectiveness in promoting weight loss. These drugs mimic the actions of natural hormones in the body, regulating blood sugar levels and curbing appetite. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors, they reduce hunger, extend the feeling of fullness, and even slow down the emptying of the stomach, collectively aiding in calorie control.*
