Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite by signaling to your brain that you're full. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, it has become widely known for its weight loss effects, leading to brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy depending on the dosage and intended use. The drug works by slowing how quickly food moves through your stomach and reducing hunger signals, making it easier for people to eat less and manage their weight.
