Semawin 2.4mg Pen Injection is used to:

• Manage obesity: It can help adults with obesity lose weight and maintain weight loss when used with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.

• Manage overweight with related health conditions: It may be prescribed for adults who are overweight and have a health problem related to their weight.

• Support long-term weight management: Continued treatment may help maintain weight loss as part of an ongoing weight-management plan.

• Control hunger and food intake: Semaglutide can reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, which may help reduce food intake.

The 2.4 mg strength is used as the maintenance dose after gradual dose escalation.

Semawin contains Semaglutide, which works in a similar way to the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1. It acts on GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation.

Semaglutide also slows stomach emptying and can make you feel full for longer. Along with its effects on appetite, this can reduce food intake and support weight loss when combined with changes to diet and physical activity.

Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements and herbal products you take before starting Semawin.

• Insulin or sulfonylureas: Taking Semaglutide with these medicines can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Your doctor may need to change their dose.

• Medicines taken by mouth: Semaglutide slows stomach emptying and may affect how quickly some oral medicines are absorbed. Tell your doctor if you take medicines that need close monitoring.

• Other GLP-1 receptor agonists: Do not use Semawin with another Semaglutide-containing medicine or another GLP-1 receptor agonist unless your doctor has prescribed the combination.

• Warfarin and other medicines requiring monitoring: Tell your doctor if you take medicines that require regular monitoring, as you may need closer follow-up.

• Keep Semawin 2.4mg Pen Injection in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C before use.

• Do not use the medicine if it has been frozen.

• Keep the pen protected from light.

• Keep it out of the reach of children.

The 2.4 mg dose is used after Semaglutide has been increased gradually during treatment. Inject it under the skin once a week. You can give the injection at any time of the day, with or without food.

The dose is increased step by step to help your body adjust to Semaglutide. Your doctor will decide when to increase the dose based on how you respond to treatment and how well you tolerate it.
