GLIPIQ 8 mg uses for:

• Long-term weight management in adults with obesity (BMI of 30 or more)

• Weight management in adults with a BMI of 27 or more who also have weight-related health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol

GLIPIQ injection for weight loss by mimicking natural hormones that regulate hunger. As a GLP-1 medication, it sends signals to your brain that you are full, helping you feel satisfied after smaller meals. It also slows the movement of food through your stomach, prolonging fullness and reducing cravings.

GLIPIQ Injection influences GIP, another hormone involved in metabolism, which can help improve how your body handles nutrients and supports weight management.

Using a GLP-based approach, such as GLIPIQ Injection, provides consistent appetite control over time. Results appear gradually, allowing you to eat less without feeling deprived, which is essential for sustainable, long-term weight loss.

Before starting GLIPIQ Injection, tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbal products you're taking. Some combinations can cause serious side effects, especially affecting your blood sugar, blood pressure, or digestion.

Watch out for interactions with:

• Insulin or diabetes pills (like glimepiride or glipizide): These can lower your blood sugar too much when combined with GLIPIQ Injection.

• Blood thinners (like warfarin): You may need extra monitoring, as weight loss can change how this medicine works.

• Thyroid medication (such as levothyroxine): Rapid weight loss may affect your thyroid levels.

• Water pills (diuretics): Combined weight and water loss can lead to dehydration or low blood pressure.

• Birth control pills: GLIPIQ Injection might change how well these work if you get nauseous or vomit often.

Also, avoid taking other weight-loss drugs or similar injections unless your doctor says it's okay.

• Store your pen in the fridge (not the freezer), it should be kept between 2°C and 8°C.

• If you forget a dose, take it within 5 days. If it’s been longer than 12 hours, skip that dose and stick to your regular schedule.

• Never take two doses at once to make up for a missed one.

• Signs of overdose (like severe nausea or vomiting) need medical attention right away.

• Always keep the pen out of children’s reach and don’t share it, even if the needle is changed.
