Mechanism of action

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release in response to elevated blood glucose. Upon abrupt cessation, patients may experience rapid loss of these glycemic control benefits, potentially leading to hyperglycemia rebound, weight regain, and metabolic dysregulation. This study likely investigates the clinical consequences and optimal management strategies for discontinuing semaglutide therapy.
