Semasize 1mg Solution for Injection (1 Cartridge, 4 Needle, 4 Alcohol Swab)
Semasize 1mg Solution for Injection is an effective once-weekly injectable medicine for weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction. Semasize Injection Cartridge contains Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist used to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes and support weight management
Product Overview
Semasize Injection Cartridge contains Semaglutide, a medicine that mimics the action of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a naturally occurring hormone involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control.
Semaglutide helps the body release insulin when blood sugar levels are elevated, reduces the release of glucagon (a hormone that increases blood sugar), and slows digestion by delaying stomach emptying. These effects help improve glucose control and support appetite regulation.
The cartridge formulation is designed for use with a compatible injection device.
