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.
