Semaglutide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It functions as an agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, helping to control blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin production and inhibiting the release of glucagon.

Used in combination with diet and exercise, Semaglutide has been proven to lower A1C levels significantly and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. In clinical trials, patients using Semaglutide had an average reduction in A1C of 1.3%. Additionally, it has been found to help promote weight loss in those suffering from obesity or overweight.

In addition to helping with diabetes, Semaglutide has also been studied for its potential weight loss benefits. A study conducted on people with obesity found that participants who took the drug experienced an average of 12% reduction in their body mass index (BMI) after one year.

Semaglutide is administered via subcutaneous injection once a week. 

Common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These side effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to diminish over time.

Before opening, Semaglutide should be stored in the refrigerator. After opening, it can be kept at room temperature.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's close to your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule.
