Semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy), along with other GLP-1 medications, works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), dulaglutide (Trulicity), and liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), are injectable biological medicines used for type 2 diabetes and weight management
Since GLP-1s are increasingly used as chronic therapies, 3 this long-term model must support continuous production rather than episodic scaling to help meet this need
