Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, was initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon release. However, clinical studies have shown that semaglutide can also be highly effective for weight loss. Patients who take this medication under medical supervision have experienced significant reductions in body weight over time.
If you are considering semaglutide for weight loss, Dr. Benhuri will carefully evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals to determine if it is the right option for you.
