Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy male or female subjects (based on assessment of medical history, physical examination and clinical laboratory data at screening, as judged by the investigator)

• Age between 18 and 55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent

• Body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 30 kg/m^2 (both inclusive)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential not using an adequate contraceptive method. Women of child-bearing potential must use an effective method of birth control for the duration of the trial and for 5 weeks following the last dose of semaglutide. Only highly effective methods of birth control are accepted (i.e. one that results in less than 1 % per year failure rate when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine device) or sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner

• Any clinically significant disease history, in the opinion of the investigator, or systemic or organ disease including: cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, neurologic, renal, genitourinary and endocrine, dermatologic or hematologic diseases

• Use of prescription or non-prescription systemic or topical medicinal products (except routine vitamins, acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol and contraceptives) within 3 weeks (or within 5 half-lives of the medicinal product, whichever is longest) prior to the first dosing of semaglutide

• History of drug/chemical substance abuse within 1 year from screening, or a positive result in the urine drug test

• History of alcohol abuse within 1 year from screening, or a positive result in the alcohol urine test, or consumption of more than 21 units (male)/14 units (female) of alcohol weekly (one unit of alcohol equals about 250 mL of beer or lager, one glass (120 mL) of wine, or 20 mL spirits)

• Smoking or use of any nicotine products (including nicotine patches, gum etc.) in the last 3 months prior to screening or a positive nicotine test
