Introduction
SEMAGLUTIDE 5 MG X 1ML.
Semaglutide is a medicine used to slim down in specific patients, as a hypoglycemia drug and also eliminates cardiovascular problems such as heart attack or stroke in type two diabetes patients.
Mechanism of action of Semaglutide:
It is a glucagon-like 1 peptide (GLP-1) agonist.
It increases the amount of insulin released from beta cells of pancreas and decreases the level of glucagon in the body.
Moreover, it delays emptying of the stomach and also reduces your appetite. When the stomach carries food for a greater time period, it sends signals of “fullness” to the brain.
The result of this process is an influential hunger subduing or vanquishing effect based on the patient’s own capacity to produce insulin. Patients don’t need to go through any surgeries or heavy medication in order to lose weight.
