Biologic complexity: Unlike small-molecule drugs, semaglutide is a biologic, meaning any generic version would likely be a biosimilar, which involves a more complicated manufacturing process that is highly regulated and more expensive than manufacturing generic drugs
Research has shown it stimulates growth hormone release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin, making it one of the most selective GH secretagogues available
