Semaglutide

Increasing insulin production

When blood sugar levels are high, semaglutide stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.

Reducing glucagon release

It lowers the amount of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar.

Slowing gastric emptying

Semaglutide slows down how quickly the stomach empties, which makes a person feel full for longer and reduces overall food intake.

Suppressing appetite

It acts on the appetite centers of the brain to increase feelings of fullness (satiety) and reduce hunger and food cravings.
