The Semaglutide family of medications: Rybelsus, Ozempic and Wegovy work by mimicking the action of the incretin hormone found in the gastrointestinal system, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels in the body.
Semaglutide acts like a natural incretin hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
GLP-1 helps to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas, which in turn helps to lower blood sugar levels.
In addition to its blood sugar-lowering effects, Semaglutide also helps to reduce appetite, which can aid in weight loss.
This is due to the fact that GLP-1 also acts on the hypothalamus in the brain to increase feelings of fullness and reduce feelings of hunger.
