Semaglutide 10 mg

Semaglutide is a synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide that mimics the human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, regulating blood sugar and appetite.

Primarily used for Type 2 diabetes and weight management, it reduces food cravings by increasing satiety, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing caloric intake.
