Short Description
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication used to aid in weight management and improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), Semaglutide helps regulate appetite, insulin, and glucose levels, making it an effective treatment for those seeking to manage their weight and diabetes.
