Semaglutide is a type of drug that mimics GLP-1 and is used for diabetes and helping with weight control. It gets insulin flowing better, so it helps manage their blood sugar. There are different strengths you can get for shots—like 0.25, 0.5, or 1 milligram—if you’re treating type 2 diabetes.
If it’s for weight control, you take a higher dose of 14 milligrams every day. The medication is available in pen form, with three different strengths (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg) each contained in a single pen, and in tablet form in 3 mg, 7 mg, and 14 mg strengths in packs of 4 or 30 tablets. The usual shot is 1 milligram once a week, but if it’s pills, it’s 14 milligrams a day.
Each pen contains one dosage, so four pens cover one month’s supply, and 30 tablets provide a 30-day supply for the weight management dose. You might notice some side effects, like feeling queasy or having an upset stomach or the runs.
