What Is Semaglutide 2 mg?
Semaglutide 2 mg is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and support weight management. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which copy the effects of a natural hormone to help control blood sugar, reduce hunger, and improve metabolism.
This higher dose is typically taken after the body has adjusted to lower doses like 0.25 mg or 1 mg. The 2 mg version is available as a weekly injection (most commonly found in Ozempic) and offers stronger effects for people who need more support.
