Abstract

Objective - The goal of this study is to evaluate the side effects of the indiscriminate use of the drug semaglutide, as well as its impacts on health and consequences arising. Methods - This is a descriptive bibliographic review, made through a bibliographic survey in the databases of Pubmed, Medline, Lilacs, Scielo, Google Scholar. Literature Review - According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is considered a global, multifactorial disease characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. Among its forms of treatment, pharmacotherapy gained prominence, mainly to facilitate weight loss. Semaglutide is a recent drug, used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a GLP-1 analogue, that has an appetite suppressant effect, reducing serum glucose levels, causing the loss of weight. Nonetheless, obesity can’t be treated in a safe and sustainable way without proper diet therapy, nutritional education, physical activities and other actions that involve the need for a multidisciplinary team to treat a disease that is multifactorial. Conclusion - The use of semaglutide as an anorectic is a drug with potential in reducing body weight, there are side effects, drug interactions and contraindications. It was noted that the effectiveness of the treatment is positive and lasting when combined with individualized dietary protocol and guided physical activity practices.
