How Ozempic Works

Semaglutide mimics the activity of GLP-1, an incretin hormone involved in blood glucose regulation. It helps stimulate insulin secretion when blood sugar is elevated, reduces glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying and supports improved glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
