Semaglo is a brand of Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management. Available in multiple strengths—0.25mg, 0.50mg, 1.7mg, 1mg, and 2.4mg—this injectable medication helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports weight loss by mimicking the natural GLP-1 hormone.
Semaglo is designed for subcutaneous injection and is prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
