Semaglutide Tablets
Composition:
Each tablet contains Semaglutide in the specified strength (e.g., 3mg, 7mg, or 14mg) as the active ingredient, depending on the prescribed dosage.
Indications:
Semaglutide Tablets are indicated for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, to improve blood sugar control. It is also prescribed for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight patients with at least one weight-related comorbidity (such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, or Type 2 diabetes). Semaglutide works by regulating blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting weight loss.
Mechanism of Action:
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It mimics the action of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion in response to meals, reduces glucagon secretion (which helps lower glucose production by the liver), and slows gastric emptying. These actions help lower blood glucose levels and reduce appetite, aiding in weight loss. Semaglutide also helps reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with Type 2 diabetes and established heart disease.
Dosage:
The typical starting dose of Semaglutide Tablets for Type 2 diabetes is 3mg once weekly, gradually increasing to 7mg or 14mg once weekly depending on individual patient needs and tolerance. For weight management, the starting dose is typically 3mg once weekly, with the potential to increase to 7mg or 14mg for enhanced efficacy. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing regimen and adjust as directed by a healthcare provider.
Packaging:
Semaglutide Tablets are available in a box containing 10 tablets, with each tablet being of the prescribed dosage strength (e.g., 3mg, 7mg, or 14mg).
