Potenza OB Injection 1.7 mg/0.75 ml contains Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist designed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and for chronic weight management. This high-dose formulation is ideal for patients who have progressed through titration phases and require maximum therapeutic efficacy for optimal glycemic control and sustained weight reduction. Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion in response to elevated glucose, suppresses glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and promotes satiety, supporting long-term metabolic health.

Composition

Each 0.75 ml of solution contains:
