semaglutide
Ozempic · Wegovy · Rybelsus
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE RYBELSUS and OZEMPIC tablets are indicated: • as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. • to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are at high risk for these events. RYBELSUS and OZEMPIC tablets are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists indicated: • as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. ( 1 ) • to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are at high risk for these events.

Mechanism. 12.1 Mechanism of Action Semaglutide is a GLP-1 analogue with 94% sequence homology to human GLP-1. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that selectively binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, the target for native GLP-1. GLP-1 is a physiological hormone that has multiple actions on glucose, mediated by the GLP-1 receptors. The principal mechanism of protraction resulting in the long half-life of semaglutide is albumin binding, which results in decreased renal clearance and protection from metabolic degradation. Furthermore, semaglutide is stabilized against degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme. Semaglutide reduces blood glucose through a mechanism where it stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion, both in a glucose-dependent manner. Thus, when blood glucose is high, insulin secretion is stimulated and glucagon secretion is inhibited. The mechanism of blood glucose lowering also involves a minor delay in gastric emptying in the early postprandial phase.

What stands out in the reports.
ROR = reporting odds ratio (log-schaal). Een waarde boven 1 betekent dat het symptoom vaker wordt gemeld voor dit product dan voor alle andere producten samen. Dit meet hoeveel het opvalt in meldingen — geen causaliteit, geen risico.
Semaglutida presenta ROR elevado para vaciamiento gástrico alterado, obstrucción intestinal, pancreatitis, hipoglucemia, estreñimiento, disminución del apetito, enfermedad y flatulencia. Es lógico que el vaciamiento gástrico alterado, la obstrucción intestinal y el estreñimiento se notifiquen desproporcionadamente. Semaglutida ralentiza el vaciamiento gástrico, lo que puede conducir a estos efectos. La hipoglucemia y la disminución del apetito son efectos esperados. La pancreatitis es un efecto adverso conocido de los agonistas de GLP-1. "Notificado con frecuencia" no es lo mismo que "causado con frecuencia". Esto no sustituye el consejo médico.
