SEMAGLUTIDE 1 VIAL X 5MG VIAL.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk reduction, and chronic weight management. While increasingly adopted in bodybuilding for "cutting" phases to achieve a caloric deficit, it is not an approved or recommended bodybuilding agent due to significant risks of muscle and bone density loss.

 

How does semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works by:

  • Stimulates insulin production in the pancreas
  • Reduces sugar production in the liver
  • Slows down digestion, so food stays in the stomach longer
  • Decreases appetite and food intake

These combined actions help you feel full longer, eat less, and maintain better control over blood sugar levels. As a result, semaglutide supports weight loss, improves blood sugar management, and helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Semaglutide's mechanism of action mimics a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which is released after eating to help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. 

The way semaglutide works for kidney-related risk reduction is not fully understood.

Semaglutide belongs to the drug class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. 

Semaglutide dosing information

Ozempic Dosing Information

  • Start Ozempic with a 0.25 mg subcutaneous injection (injection under the skin) once weekly for 4 weeks. The 0.25 mg dosage is intended for treatment initiation and is not effective for glycemic control.
  • After 4 weeks on the 0.25 mg dosage, increase the dosage to 0.5 mg once weekly.
  • If additional glycemic control is needed after at least 4 weeks on the 0.5 mg dosage, the dosage may be increased to 1 mg once weekly.
  • If additional glycemic control is needed after at least 4 weeks on the 1 mg dosage, the dosage may be increased to 2 mg once weekly. The maximum recommended dosage is 2 mg once weekly.
  • Administer Ozempic once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of the day, with or without meals.
  • The day of weekly administration can be changed if necessary, as long as the time between two doses is at least 2 days (>48 hours).
  • If a dose is missed, administer Ozempic as soon as possible within 5 days after the missed dose. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and administer the next dose on the regularly scheduled day. In each case, patients can then resume their regular once-weekly dosing schedule.
