What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription injectable medication in a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by:
Helping you feel full sooner and for longer
Reducing appetite and cravings
Supporting healthier blood sugar levels
It is used along with diet and activity changes to help eligible adults lose weight and improve weight-related health conditions. This is a medical treatment, not a cosmetic quick fix.

Safety, Side Effects, and Important Considerations
As with any prescription medication, semaglutide can cause side effects, most commonly:
Nausea, vomiting, or upset stomach
Diarrhea or constipation
Decreased appetite
Less common but more serious risks may include certain gastrointestinal, gallbladder, or pancreatic issues, as well as concerns for people with specific types of thyroid tumors in their personal or family history. Because of this, semaglutide:
May not be appropriate for people with certain medical conditions
Must be used exactly as directed by your provider
Should never be started, stopped, or adjusted on your own without medical guidance
