Requires Prescription
Yes

Generic Name
Semaglutide

Used For
Type 2 Diabetes

How It Works
Sematide contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works similarly to the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone. It helps regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin release when glucose levels are high, reducing glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying after meals. Its long-acting formula supports effective once-weekly dosing.

Usage and Safety

Dosage
The usual starting dose is 0.25mg injected once weekly for 4 weeks. This is an initiation dose and not intended for long-term glycemic control. Your doctor may increase the dose to 0.5mg weekly after 4 weeks, with further adjustment if needed. Use on the same day each week, with or without food, or as directed by your physician.

Side Effects
Common side effects may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Diabetic retinopathy complications
• Mild digestive discomfort

Serious but less common effects may include:

• Pancreatitis
• Severe allergic reactions
• Vision changes

Seek immediate medical attention if severe symptoms occur.

Drug Interactions
Using Sematide with insulin or sulfonylureas may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Dose adjustments may be needed under medical supervision.

Indication
