Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonist, a class of medication initially developed for managing Type 2 diabetes
[13] [6] Conversely, modest weight loss through sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes can improve GLP-1 response
Serious complications of Ozempic include gastroparesis (where the stomach empties too slowly), thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, and bowel blockages
