What Is Semaglutide 10 mg?
Semaglutide 10 mg is a higher-dose medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. It belongs to a group of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a natural hormone in your body to lower blood sugar, reduce appetite, and support healthy weight loss.
This dose may come in the form of weekly injections (like Ozempic or Wegovy) or daily tablets depending on the brand. It’s typically used after starting at a lower dose (like 0.25 mg or 5 mg) and working up gradually.
How Semaglutide 10 mg Works
Controls Blood Sugar: Helps the pancreas produce more insulin when needed and reduces sugar production in the liver.
Suppresses Appetite: Slows down digestion, so you feel full longer and eat less.
Promotes Weight Loss: Many users report steady weight loss over several months when paired with a healthy diet and exercise.
How to Use Semaglutide 10 mg
Injectable: Taken once weekly under the skin (thigh, abdomen, or upper arm).
Oral: Take once daily with water, at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking.
Always follow your doctor’s guidance and never increase your dose without approval.
