BACTERIOSTATIC WATER IS NOT INCLUDED! What is Semaglutide: Semaglutide is a medication used for managing type 2 diabetes and promoting long-term weight loss in individuals. It functions as an anti-diabetic and anti-obesity treatment. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone released by the gut, which stimulates insulin production and helps to lower blood glucose levels. Mechanism of action: As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon levels in the body. Additionally, it slows down stomach emptying and decreases appetite. The prolonged presence of food in the stomach signals fullness to the brain, resulting in significant appetite suppression that varies based on the patient's insulin production. Patients can experience weight loss without undergoing invasive procedures or relying on heavy medications. Benefits of Semaglutide: Semaglutide is prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes, as it helps regulate blood glucose levels. It also lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues such as heart attacks and strokes in susceptible patients. Furthermore, it supports weight reduction in individuals with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher, or in those with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater who also have a weight-related health condition, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. It is recommended to be used alongside a healthy diet and exercise regimen. How to use: The drug has a half-life of approximately 7 days. Dosage may differ among users, starting with a low dose is advisable, gradually increasing it until the desired effects are achieved; dosages typically range from 0.25 to 2.5 mg per week. Fast Facts: Semaglutide influences weight loss through multiple mechanisms. Over 30% of individuals with type II diabetes experienced a weight loss of less than 5%.
