What is Semaglutide?
Rock Ridge Pharmacy proudly offers compounded Semaglutide, a cutting-edge medication designed to effectively manage type 2 diabetes and obesity. Our custom-compounded Semaglutide ensures the highest quality and personalized treatment to meet your unique health needs.
How Semaglutide Works:
GLP-1 Receptor Activation: Semaglutide primarily targets GLP-1 receptors, mimicking the action of the natural hormone GLP-1, crucial for regulating blood sugar and appetite.
Enhanced Insulin Production: It stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose levels, aiding in improved glucose regulation.
Reduced Glucagon Release: Semaglutide suppresses glucagon release, a hormone that increases blood sugar levels, thereby preventing excessive glucose production in the liver.
Slower Gastric Emptying: By slowing gastric emptying, Semaglutide helps regulate nutrient absorption, including glucose, contributing to better blood sugar control and prolonged satiety.
Appetite Regulation: Influences appetite control by enhancing feelings of fullness, which can reduce food intake and support weight management.
