Mechanism of Action Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and blood sugar
That usually just means your body has found its new normal, and your habits need a small tune-up to match
Semaglutide works by targeting the GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, brain and stomach
We used SAS version 9.3 for all analyses
Contact your prescriber if the plateau continues, if hunger has changed sharply, if weight regain is persistent, or if dose escalation is being considered
In the first week, you can expect: Modest weight loss of 2-5 lbs as the medication begins to take effect Appetite suppression as one of the first noticeable effects Potential GI side effects like nausea as your body adjusts With semaglutide, the weight does not seem to come off rapidly or easily at first
