What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a weekly injection that mimics the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) to:
- Support healthy metabolism
- Control blood sugar
- Curb cravings
- Regulate appetite
Semaglutide is effective at managing blood sugar for patients with diabetes and insulin resistance.

Semaglutide Frequently Asked Questions
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) helps the body regulate blood sugar. Obesity and being overweight can cause insulin resistance, which makes GLP-1 less effective. Blood sugar and insulin play a crucial role in how the body stores calories, so issues in regulating them often leads to fat gain. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 analogue, meaning it mimics GLP-1’s effects in the body.
Semaglutide also slows the digestive process and helps stop cravings by making patents feel fuller for longer.
Semaglutide is FDA approved for weight loss and weight management and is generally considered safe for most patients. Your Defy Medical provider will go over possible side effects and any contraindications (reasons not to take the medication) in your consultation.
