Semaglutide is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management.[22][23][24] It is a peptide similar to the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), modified with a side chain.[25][26] It can be administered by subcutaneous injection or taken orally.[13][14][15][27] It is sold by Novo Nordisk under the brand names Ozempic[13] and Rybelsus[14] for diabetes, and under the brand name Wegovy for weight management and weight loss.[12][15]
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist.[13][14][15] The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.[13][16][17][18]
It was approved for medical use in the US in 2017.[13][28] In 2022, it was the 48th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 13 million prescriptions.[29][30]
