Buy Semaglutide Weight Loss Injection
Semaglutide is used for weight loss, to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events and chronic kidney disease in certain adult patients.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist that works by reducing appetite, delaying gastric emptying, increasing insulin release, and lowering the amount of glucagon released.
Semaglutide brand names are Ozempic, Rybelus, and Wegovy , which are made by Novo Nordisk, and are FDA-approved for different conditions. Semaglutide FDA approval was first granted on December 5, 2017, for the brand Ozempic.
What is semaglutide used for?
- Semaglutide is used for weight loss and weight maintenance in patients 12 years and older with obesity
- Used for reducing major cardiovascular event risks (such as heart attack, stroke, or death) in adults with type 2 diabetes with known heart disease
- Injection is given 1 time a week under the skin of the stomach (belly), the thigh, or the upper arm, using an autoinjector
- This injection should be used in addition to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How does semaglutide work?
Semaglutide’s mechanism of action involves mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 which:
- Stimulates insulin production from the pancreas
- Reduces liver sugar production
- Slows down digestion
- Helps control appetite and food intake.
GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone that is released when we eat, to help us regulate our food intake. Semaglutide works by activating GLP-1 receptors, this lowers appetite, slows how quickly the stomach empties, and increases insulin production, so you feel fuller for longer and eat less, which leads to weight loss, control of blood sugar levels, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The way semaglutide works for kidney-related risk reduction is not fully understood.
