Overview

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist that has transformed treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1 to reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity. In trials, it produced 15% weight loss and significantly reduced cardiovascular events. Available as weekly injection (Ozempic/Wegovy) or daily oral tablet (Rybelsus).
