So, semaglutide is this thing that mimics a GLP-1 receptor to help with type 2 diabetes and weight loss. You can get it in pens like these—0.25, 0.5, or 1 mg shots—and there are tablets, too: 3 mg, 7 mg, or 14 mg. Typically, you’d inject it once a week—1 mg worth each time—or you could swallow it at 14 mg daily.
They come in these packages with either four penfuls or a handful of 30 tablets. The good stuff is that it can get your insulin production in gear and really helps in shedding some weight. It kind of tricks the GLP-1 receptors, making them do more insulin when sugar’s high, and also makes you eat less and move less food through your digestive tract.
And guess what? That can help keep those blood sugar levels in check for people with diabetes and help someone manage their weight because they’re not so hungry or moving the food around as fast.
