Semaglutide is a potent glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to this, it has emerging potential clinical implications. First, there is accumulating preliminary data on its potential role in type 1 diabetes mellitus. In this setting, we need to know which patient subgroups may benefit more. Furthermore, its role in non-alcoholic fatty liver and in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging. Other potential therapeutic implications of semaglutide include kidney disease, Alzheimer disease and pulmonary diseases. Nonetheless, we still need much more information on its long-term efficacy, safety and utility in these new implications before any definitive conclusions may be drawn for everyday practice.
