Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut in response to eating.

One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood sugar (glucose). For that reason, health care providers have used semaglutide for more than 15 years to treat Type 2 diabetes.

But GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss - and a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease - in people who are obese or overweight.

Currently, semaglutide is only approved for weight loss. The typical dose for weight loss is 2.4 milligrams, administered weekly as subcutaneous (under the skin) self-injections.

This medication is for injection under the skin of your upper leg (thigh), stomach area, or upper arm. It is given once every week (every 7 days). You will be taught how to prepare and give this medication. Use exactly as directed. Take your medication at regular intervals. Do not take it more often than directed.

The side effects of semaglutide are typically mild - especially when compared to the complications associated with overweight and obesity.

Q: 1. What does semaglutide do to your body?

Q: 2. Is semaglutide worth it for weight loss?

A: An early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people using semaglutide plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. After 68 weeks, half of the participants using semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%.

Q: 3. How much weight can I lose in a month on semaglutide?

A: One study found people who received weekly semaglutide injections lost an average of about 15 pounds after three months and about 27 pounds after six months, which translates into about a 5-pound weight loss per month.

Q: 4. How much water should I drink on semaglutide?

A: But it becomes even more important with Semaglutide, as staying hydrated can stave off nausea that some people experience on this medication. Try to get in a minimum of 80 ounces of water a day.

Q: 5. Does semaglutide mess with your metabolism?

A: As well as reducing appetite, semaglutide increases metabolism, helping to burn calories and lose weight. This effect is caused by the drug-stimulating brown adipose tissue, a type of fat tissue that burns calories to generate heat.
