Noveltreat 1.7mg Injection may be prescribed for:

• Long-term weight management: It is used along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help adults with obesity or overweight achieve and maintain weight loss.

• Weight-related health conditions: It may be used in adults who are overweight or obese and have one or more weight-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or abnormal cholesterol levels.

The dose is increased gradually according to the treatment schedule prescribed by the doctor. Do not change the dose without medical advice.

Semaglutide acts like the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. It acts on areas involved in appetite regulation, helping reduce hunger and food cravings while increasing the feeling of fullness. This can reduce calorie intake and support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Semaglutide also slows stomach emptying, which can contribute to a longer-lasting feeling of fullness after meals.

Tell your doctor about all medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take before starting Noveltreat 1.7mg Injection.

• Insulin and certain diabetes medicines: The risk of low blood sugar may increase when Semaglutide is used with insulin or medicines such as sulfonylureas.

• Medicines taken by mouth: Semaglutide delays stomach emptying and may affect the absorption of some oral medicines.

• Other Semaglutide-containing medicines: Do not use Noveltreat with another Semaglutide-containing medicine unless specifically advised by your doctor.

• Other GLP-1 receptor agonists: Concomitant use with another GLP-1 receptor agonist is not recommended.
