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.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How it leaves the body

Approximately 3% of the dose is excreted in the urine as intact semaglutide.
