Semalix 2mg Injection is used to:

• Improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: It is used along with diet and exercise.

• Support chronic weight management: It may be prescribed for eligible adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related health condition.

Semalix 2mg Injection contains Semaglutide, which mimics GLP-1, a natural hormone involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite.

It increases insulin release when blood sugar levels are high and reduces glucagon release. It also slows stomach emptying and can increase feelings of fullness. These actions help improve blood sugar control and can reduce food intake.

Tell your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements and herbal products you take.

• Insulin or sulfonylureas: These can increase the risk of low blood sugar when used with Semalix.

• Oral medicines: Semaglutide may affect the absorption of some oral medicines because it delays stomach emptying.

• Warfarin or other coumarin medicines: Closer monitoring may be needed after starting Semaglutide.

• Other GLP-1 receptor agonists: Do not use Semalix with another Semaglutide-containing medicine or GLP-1 receptor agonist unless prescribed.

• Store Semalix 2mg Injection at 2°C to 8°C in a refrigerator.

• Do not freeze it.

• Do not use it if it has been frozen.

• Protect the pen from light.

• Keep it out of the sight and reach of children.

• Follow the pack instructions after first use.
