U.P.A Maglira 5mg (Semaglutide)

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.

What is semaglutide?

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.
