Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a medication recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating obesity. Originally developed as a medication for treating type 2 diabetes, semaglutide is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in certain patients and may support weight loss as part of a medically supervised program. The medication is administered as a once-weekly injection and mimics the effects of a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and glucose metabolism.

In clinical trials, semaglutide has been shown to produce significant weight loss in people who are overweight or obese. In one study, participants who took semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks, compared to an average weight loss of 2.4% in participants who received a placebo. Clinical studies have observed improvements in markers of cardiovascular health; individual responses may vary.

While semaglutide has shown promising results for weight loss, it is important to note that the medication is not a standalone solution for weight loss. Semaglutide should be used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise program. Additionally, semaglutide can have side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and it is important to talk to a doctor before starting treatment with semaglutide.
