What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide injection is used along with a diet and exercise program to control blood sugar levels in adults. Semaglutide injection is used along with an individualized low-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise program to help with weight loss in obese adults or overweight adults who may also have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Semaglutide also works by slowing the movement of food through the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss.
