Semaglutide 5mg
5mg, For Research Purposes Only
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used primarily for managing type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It mimics the effects of natural GLP-1, enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon levels, and slowing gastric emptying.
Indications:
Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to improve glycemic control
Chronic weight management in individuals with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities
Mechanism of Action:
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors, leading to increased insulin secretion in response to glucose, suppression of glucagon release, and delayed gastric emptying, which contributes to reduced appetite and calorie intake.
Dosage & Administration:
Available in injectable and oral formulations
Typically administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection or daily in oral form
Dosage may be adjusted based on patient response and tolerability
Clinical Benefits:
Improved blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes
Significant weight reduction in patients with obesity
Reduced cardiovascular risks in high-risk populations
Potential Side Effects:
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
Decreased appetite
Risk of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and thyroid C-cell tumors (in animal studies)
Contraindications:
Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
Severe gastrointestinal disorders
Precautions:
Use with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis
Monitor for signs of thyroid tumors
Assess for potential interactions with other glucose-lowering medications
Research & Development:
Ongoing studies explore its potential applications in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular health, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Semaglutide is a breakthrough medication in diabetes and obesity management, offering significant metabolic benefits. Further research continues to expand its therapeutic potential.
