Semiglutide
Semaglutide, sold under the brand name Wegovy among others, is an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. It works by mimicking the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite by reducing hunger, slowing gastric emptying, and increasing feelings of fullness.
​
When combined with a healthy diet and exercise, semaglutide can help patients lose weight by controlling cravings and making it easier to stick to lower-calorie meals. It is typically used in individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have at least one weight-related health condition
