BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 8(2):e001649 Furusawa S, Nomoto H, Yokoyama H, Suzuki Y, Tsuzuki A, Takahashi K, Miya A, Kameda H, Cho KY, Takeuchi J, Nagai S, Taneda S, Kurihara Y, Nakamura A, Atsumi T (2023) Glycaemic control efficacy of switching from dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors to oral semaglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes: a multicentre, prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group comparison study (SWITCH-SEMA 2 study)
When you take semaglutide, it binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptors in your body, triggering several mechanisms that support weight loss: Reducing appetite and promoting feelings of fullness Slowing down gastric emptying (the rate at which food leaves your stomach) so you feel satisfied for longer Regulating blood sugar levels, which can minimize cravings and give you more stable energy levels throughout the day Semaglutide works with your bodys natural systems, supporting them so they can work more effectively
Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved
For example, bupropion for those with depression
