Semaglutide (GLP-1)

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA). It is used as an injectable medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide works by stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, which helps to lower blood sugar levels. It can also help improve cholesterol levels and reduce body weight.

When is Semaglutide used?

Semaglutide is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing the body’s production of insulin and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It is usually given once a week, either as an injection or as an oral pill.

How long does Semaglutide stay in your system?

The duration of Semaglutide in the body can vary depending on several factors, including the dose, individual metabolism, and the frequency of administration.

According to the drug manufacturer, the elimination half-life of Semaglutide is approximately 1 week, which means that it takes about 7 days for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body. However, it can take up to five half-lives (about 35 days) for Semaglutide to be completely eliminated from the body.

It is essential to note that several factors can affect how long Semaglutide stays in the body, including age, kidney function, and liver function. If you have concerns about how long Semaglutide may stay in your system, you should speak with your healthcare provider, who can provide you with more specific information based on your individual circumstances.

What are contraindications with Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is important to note that certain medical conditions, medications, or situations may make Semaglutide inappropriate or unsafe to use. The following are some contraindications with Semaglutide:

Hypersensitivity: Semaglutide should not be used by individuals who have had a severe allergic reaction to the medication or any of its components.
Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer: Semaglutide may increase the risk of developing medullary thyroid cancer, especially in individuals with a personal or family history of this condition.
Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2): Semaglutide should not be used by individuals with this rare genetic disorder as they are at an increased risk of developing medullary thyroid cancer.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA): Semaglutide is not recommended for individuals who have DKA, a severe complication of diabetes.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Semaglutide is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as its effects on the fetus or infant are unknown.
Gastroparesis: Semaglutide should be used with caution in individuals with gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), as it may worsen this condition.
Severe gastrointestinal disease: Semaglutide should not be used by individuals with severe gastrointestinal disease, as it may exacerbate this condition.

It is essential to discuss any medical conditions, medications, or situations that may contraindicate the use of Semaglutide with your healthcare provider before starting treatment. They can help determine whether Semaglutide is appropriate for you and develop a treatment plan that is safe and effective.
