How Does SEMAGLUTIDE 2 mg Work?

Semaglutide 2 mg works by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural hormone that stimulates insulin release when blood sugar levels are elevated. It also reduces glucagon secretion, slows stomach emptying, and decreases appetite. These combined effects help improve blood sugar control and support weight management.
