Frequent Asked Questions
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite. It is available in injectable forms and as an oral tablet.
What conditions does semaglutide treat?
Semaglutide is used to manage type 2 diabetes and is also approved for chronic weight management in individuals with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).
How is semaglutide administered?
Semaglutide is administered either as a weekly subcutaneous injection (under the skin) or as a daily oral tablet. The injection is commonly given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
What are the common side effects of semaglutide?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These side effects often decrease over time as the body adjusts to the medication.
Who should not take semaglutide?
Semaglutide is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
Do I need to follow a specific diet while on semaglutide?
While there is no specific diet required, following a healthy, balanced diet can enhance the effectiveness of semaglutide in managing blood sugar levels and weight. Healthcare providers often recommend a diet plan that complements the medication’s action.
What lifestyle changes should accompany semaglutide treatment?
For optimal results, semaglutide should accompany lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management strategies. These changes help improve overall health and enhance the medication’s effectiveness.
