Seglutide Injection

Seglutide Injection is an injection made by Macter that contains Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is used for type 2 diabetes, obesity, weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction.

Uses of Seglutide Injection

Seglutide Injection is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise, and can also lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with heart disease. Higher-strength forms are used for long-term weight management in adults with obesity, or who are overweight with weight-related health problems. It is available as an injection and, for diabetes, as a tablet.

How Seglutide Injection works

Semaglutide copies a natural gut hormone called GLP-1. It helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high, lowers glucagon and slows the emptying of the stomach. It also acts on appetite centres in the brain, helping you feel full sooner and eat less.

Possible side effects

Digestive side effects are the most common with Seglutide Injection, especially when starting or increasing treatment, and include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain or bloating
• Reduced appetite
• Tiredness

Seek urgent help for severe, persistent stomach pain that may spread to the back, with or without vomiting, as this can be a sign of pancreatitis. Also report pain in the upper right abdomen, yellow skin, or signs of dehydration.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use it if you or a family member have had medullary thyroid cancer or a condition called MEN 2.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetic eye disease, kidney problems or a history of pancreatitis, or take insulin or a sulfonylurea, as low blood sugar becomes more likely.
• It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and should be stopped well before a planned pregnancy as advised by your doctor.
• Store unopened pens in a refrigerator and never share pens, even if the needle is changed.
• It is not used for type 1 diabetes, and should be used for weight loss only under medical supervision.

Storage
