How Semaglutide Works Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors throughout the body, producing several coordinated effects that promote weight loss and metabolic health (3): Appetite suppression: Acts on hypothalamic appetite centers to reduce hunger and increase satiety Delayed gastric emptying: Slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, promoting longer-lasting fullness Enhanced insulin secretion: Stimulates glucose-dependent insulin release, improving blood sugar control Reduced glucagon secretion: Lowers the hormone that raises blood sugar levels Central reward pathway modulation: May reduce food cravings and reward-driven eating behavior Semaglutide for weight loss is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection with a gradual dose escalation from 0.25 mg to a target dose of 2.4 mg over 16 to 20 weeks
Maintenance doses usually run 33 to 67 percent less than top belly doses during weight loss
