Yes, semaglutide can help with weight loss. It’s a medication originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes, but it’s also been approved for weight management under brand names like Wegovy. It works by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate appetite, making you feel fuller longer and reducing how much you eat.

That said, it’s not a quick fix. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Plus, it’s a prescription medication, so a doctor would need to decide if it’s right for you. It can have side effects, so it’s important to weigh the pros and cons with your healthcare provider.
