How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide, also known as GLP-1, is a hormone produced in your small intestine and is released when you eat food. It is responsible for helping your body release insulin, which reduces blood sugar levels. Semaglutide not only boosts insulin secretion but also decreases the liver's glucose production, providing a balanced regulation of blood sugar. Additionally, it interacts with various hormones like glucagon to enhance this effect. It also reduces appetite by signaling your brain's hypothalamus to make you feel full and slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, thus helping you maintain prolonged satiety and control post-meal blood sugar spikes. Semaglutide activates receptors present in various tissues, including the pancreas, brain, and gastrointestinal tract, each playing a unique role in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation.

The dosage typically starts low and is gradually increased over a few weeks to minimize potential side effects and allow your body to adjust to the medication. During your consultation, our doctors will determine the most suitable dosage for your needs and provide detailed instructions on how to self-administer the injection at home.
