Semaglutide injection is prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes and is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, aiding in blood sugar regulation. Additionally, it significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or death in individuals with type 2 diabetes who also suffer from heart or vascular disease.

The initial dosage is set at 0.25 mg once weekly for the initial four weeks, allowing your body to gradually adapt to the medication. Starting from the fifth week, your healthcare provider will increase the dosage to 0.5 mg once a week. It's essential to administer Semaglutide consistently on the same day each week, following your healthcare provider's instructions precisely. Semaglutide can be taken with or without food. Should you need to change the day you take Semaglutide, ensure it is at least two days after your last dose.

Semaglutide and its compounded form may cause several side effects, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation. More severe reactions can occur, such as significant gastrointestinal distress, hypoglycemia, pancreatitis, and acute kidney injury.
