How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Ozempic). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 analogue with 94% sequence homology to human GLP-1.
Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that selectively binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, the target for native GLP-1.
Approximately 3% of the dose is excreted in the urine as intact semaglutide.
