BACTERIOSTATIC WATER IS NOT INCLUDED! What is Semaglutide: Semaglutide is a medication used for managing type 2 diabetes and addressing obesity. It aids in long-term weight control for patients with type 2 diabetes. This medication mimics the GLP-1 hormone released from the gut, which stimulates insulin production and lowers blood glucose levels. Mechanism of Action: Semaglutide acts as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. It boosts insulin secretion and decreases glucagon levels in the body. Additionally, it slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite. By prolonging the presence of food in the stomach, it signals the brain to induce a feeling of fullness. This process leads to a significant reduction in hunger based on each patient's insulin production capacity. Patients can achieve weight loss without surgical procedures or heavy medications. Benefits of Semaglutide: Prescribed for type 2 diabetes patients, Semaglutide helps regulate blood glucose levels. It reduces the risk of cardiovascular issues, such as heart attacks and strokes, in at-risk individuals. It supports weight loss in patients with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or above and at least one related condition, like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. It is recommended to be used alongside a proper diet and regular exercise. How to Use: The medication has a half-life of approximately 7 days. Dosages can vary among individuals; it's advised to start with a lower dose and gradually increase it to achieve and maintain the desired results. Weekly dosages can range from 0.25 to 2.5 mg. Quick Facts: Semaglutide operates through various mechanisms to support weight loss. Over 30% of type 2 diabetes patients reported a weight loss of less than 5%.
