What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means that it works by mimicking the effects of a natural hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It helps with weight loss in obese patients and reduces blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.

How does it work (mechanism of action) for weight loss?
Semaglutide’s mechanism of action for weight loss is thought to be multifactorial, but primarily involves its effects on the appetite control centers in the brain.
Semaglutide for weight loss is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week, and is currently approved for use in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
What is the evidence behind Semaglutide use and weight loss?
The New England Journal of Medicine published the results of the Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity (STEP) clinical trials, which investigated the efficacy and safety of semaglutide for weight loss in adults with obesity.
In the STEP 1 trial, which involved over 1,900 adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition, participants who received semaglutide once weekly had significantly greater weight loss compared to those who received placebo. At week 68,
participants in the semaglutide group had an average weight loss of 14.9% compared to 2.4% in the placebo group.
Similarly, in the STEP 2 trial, which involved over 1,200 adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, participants who received semaglutide had significantly greater weight loss and better glycemic control compared to those who received placebo. At week 68, participants in the semaglutide group had an average weight loss of 9.6% compared to 3.4% in the placebo group.
The results of the STEP trials demonstrate that semaglutide can be an effective treatment option for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition, as well as in adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity.
Is Semaglutide FDA approved for weight loss ?
Yes, Semaglutide has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
The medication is marketed under the brand name Wegovy and is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week.
The approval of semaglutide for weight loss was based on the results of the Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity (STEP) clinical trials, which demonstrated that semaglutide can significantly promote weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition.
It’s important to note that semaglutide is not appropriate for everyone and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The medication may have side effects and is not recommended for use in individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.
What is the best weight loss FDA approved medication?
There is no single “best” weight loss medication that is recommended for everyone, as the most appropriate medication depends on several factors including a person’s medical history, weight, and overall health.
However, several weight loss medications have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for long-term use, in addition to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. These medications include:
It’s very important to note that weight loss medications should always be used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular physical activity. These medications may have side effects and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
