Potenza OB Injection 2.4 mg/0.75 ml contains Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management in adults. This is the highest-dose formulation in the Potenza OB range, intended for patients who have completed the titration schedule and require maximal therapeutic effect. Semaglutide works by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety, helping to optimize blood glucose control and support significant weight reduction.

Composition

Each 0.75 ml of solution contains:

• Semaglutide 2.4 mg

Mechanism of Action

Semaglutide functions as a GLP-1 receptor agonist:

• Stimulates insulin secretion in response to elevated blood glucose
• Suppresses inappropriate glucagon release

This dual effect helps patients achieve better blood sugar control while facilitating weight loss.
