How it works

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a hormone your gut already makes, one that tells your brain you are full and slows how fast your stomach empties. The result for most people is less hunger, fewer cravings, and smaller portions that still feel satisfying. It is taken as a once-weekly injection under the skin.

Your provider starts you low and adjusts over time.

Common side effects

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, and lower appetite. They are usually mild and settle as your body adjusts, and starting at a low dose helps.

Serious risks to know

Serious but less common risks include inflammation of the pancreas, gallbladder problems, kidney strain from dehydration, low blood sugar (especially if you also take insulin or a sulfonylurea), and allergic reactions. In animal studies GLP-1 medicines caused thyroid tumors; the risk in people is not known, which is why the thyroid-history questions matter. Tell your provider about any severe belly pain, trouble breathing, or swelling.
