Semaglutide is a medication that works by mimicking the GLP-1 protein in your body. By mimicking GLP-1, it can help deliver certain effects including increased insulin release, less glucagon release, slowing how fast food can leave your stomach, and making you feel less hungry. For people who are trying to lose weight, these effects may combine to help them eat fewer calories and ultimately lose extra weight.
