GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. When bound to its receptor, semaglutide promotes insulin secretion, reduces glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying. These combined actions contribute to the reduction in appetite, increased satiety, maintenance of blood glucose levels, and weight loss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Wegovy injection and pills?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWegovy pills and Wegovy injections both contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide, and are designed to help with long-term weight loss. The biggest difference is how they're taken. Wegovy pills are swallowed once a day, while Wegovy injections are self-administered just once a week using a pre-filled injection pen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you don't like needles, Wegovy pills offer a needle-free alternative.
