What It Is
Semaglutide 5ML

Mechanism of Action

Semaglutide is a long-acting synthetic analog of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) studied for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Its mechanisms center on activation of GLP-1 receptors throughout the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and other tissues — enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing appetite through central nervous system pathways.

Compounded semaglutide is dispensed by our licensed 503A pharmacy partner with a valid physician prescription. Individual outcomes may differ. This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Mechanism Biological Effect
GLP-1 receptor agonism Enhanced incretin signaling
Glucose-dependent insulin release Lower blood glucose
Glucagon suppression Reduced hepatic glucose output
Slowed gastric emptying Reduced post-meal glucose spikes
Central appetite suppression Reduced food intake
β-cell protection Sustained insulin production
