Semaglutide 7mg Tablets Uses

How Does Semaglutide 7mg Tablets Work

Semaglutide mimics the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which is naturally produced in the gut. It:

• Stimulates insulin secretion in response to meals, lowering blood sugar levels.
• Reduces glucagon release, decreasing glucose production by the liver.
• Slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, promoting satiety and reducing food intake.

This multi-action approach helps manage blood sugar levels while supporting weight loss.
