Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication developed for management of type-2 diabetes. The drug was developed by Novo Nordisk, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and released in 2017. Novo Nordisk specializes in the development of drugs called GLP-1’s, which have been shown to work well in managing insulin levels in type-2 diabetics. Novo Nordisk developed drugs called Wegovy and Rybelsus, both based on a molecule called “semaglutide.” They discovered that in overweight or obese diabetic patients, these drugs curbed appetites and led to remarkable weight loss properties.

Coupled with diet and exercise, Semaglutide has been shown to have remarkable weight loss properties.
