How Obesema 0.5mg Injection Works
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors. It helps increase insulin release when blood glucose is elevated and reduces glucagon release.
It also slows stomach emptying and increases fullness, helping reduce food intake and support weight management.
Interaction of Obesema 0.5mg Injection with Other Medicines
Tell your doctor about all medicines you take.
Insulin and sulfonylureas: May increase the risk of hypoglycaemia.
Oral medicines: Delayed stomach emptying may affect absorption.
Other GLP-1 receptor agonists or Semaglutide medicines: Do not combine unless prescribed.
Storage Conditions
Store Obesema according to the product instructions.
Keep refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C before use unless otherwise specified.
Do not freeze.
Protect from light.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
How to Use
Obesema 0.5mg Injection is administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, thigh or upper arm.
The 0.5 mg dose generally follows the initial 0.25 mg dose during dose escalation. Do not change the prescribed dose without speaking with your doctor.
Safety Advice

Do not use Semaglutide for weight management during pregnancy. It should generally be discontinued at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy.
Breast Feeding
Semaglutide should not be used while breastfeeding because its safety for the breastfed baby has not been established.
