Semaglutide is a prescription weight-management medicine taken once a week.

Semaglutide is a prescription injectable that is used in conjunction with a lower-calorie diet and more exercise in adults with documented heart disease who are either obese or overweight to lower their risk of significant cardiovascular events such as mortality, heart attack, or stroke that could assist adults who are obese, as well as those adults who are overweight and have health issues related to their weight, in losing extra weight and keeping it off.

Semaglutide should not be taken in conjunction with other GLP-1 receptor-agonist medications or other products that also include semaglutide. It is not known if semaglutide is safe and effective for use in children under 12 years of age.

Before using semaglutide, disclose to your healthcare provider any additional medical conditions, such as kidney or pancreas problems, type 2 diabetes with a history of diabetic retinopathy, depression, suicidal thoughts, mental health issues, pregnancy, or intending to become pregnant. Semaglutide may cause harm to the fetus. Two months before you intend to get pregnant, breastfeed, or stop nursing, you should cease using semaglutide. If semaglutide enters your breast milk, that fact is unknown.

Inform your doctor about all of the medications you take, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Some medications may impact semaglutides ability to function, and semaglutide may impact some medications ability to function.
