What is Semaglutide?

SEMAGLUTIDE promotes weight loss and may also be used to maintain weight loss. It works by decreasing appetite. Changes to diet and exercise are often combined with this medication.

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating.

It was originally approved in 2017 as Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes. The FDA later approved Wegovy in 2021 — the first once-weekly GLP-1 agonist for chronic weight management.

How Does It Work?

Slows the movement of food out of your stomach (gastric emptying)

Targets areas of the brain that help regulate appetite and fullness

Reduces cravings for certain foods, such as salty snacks or sweets

⚠️

Important Note

There are compounded and research-grade versions of semaglutide on the market. These are not the same as FDA-approved semaglutide products. Hunt Club Pediatrics provides only FDA-approved medications.
