Patient summary
Semaglutide 3mg, 7mg and 14mg tablets, used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A GLP-1 receptor agonist taken by mouth, not injected.
Mechanism of action
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the body's natural incretin hormone. It enhances insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon levels, and slows gastric emptying, which helps to lower blood glucose concentrations and promote satiety.
