Abstract
Semaglutide is an oral glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist approved in 2019 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is marketed under the brand name Rybelsus and was approved to be used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications to treat individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is the first in its drug class to be administered in a once-daily oral form. Through its actions on glucose control and body weight, this once-daily oral medication could contribute to better glycemic control and healthier lives for many women with type 2 diabetes.
