Semaglutide, a medication for type 2 diabetes, is marketed under the name Wegovy. Semaglutide are members of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist drug class. These drugs imitate the functions of the GLP-1 hormone, which aids in controlling body weight, food consumption, and hunger. By slowing down the time it takes to digest the food consumed, it makes the person feel fuller for longer which in turn reduces food intake. This accompanied with a healthy lifestyle will lead to successful weight loss outcomes and in turn, improves libido
