Semaglutide PEN 3 ml 5 mg PEN

Description

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to support blood glucose control and weight management. It mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone, enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon levels, and slowing gastric emptying.

Its prolonged action is achieved through strong albumin binding, protecting the molecule from rapid degradation and allowing sustained metabolic effects.
