Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for chronic weight management in adults struggling with obesity or who are overweight. It helps people achieve significant and sustained weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide works by acting on receptors in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. It helps you feel fuller faster, control hunger and reduce cravings so you eat less without feeling deprived. Over time, this leads to better control over eating habits and portions.
