DESCRIPTION
SEMAGLUTIDE – PHARMAQO LABS

1 cartridge x 5 mg

Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus) is a medicine used for weight loss in specific patients, and to lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke in type two diabetes patients. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist and works by increasing insulin release, lowering the amount of glucagon released, delaying gastric emptying and reducing appetite.

BEFORE TAKING THIS MEDICINE
You should not use semaglutide if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (tumors in your glands);
a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (a type of thyroid cancer); or
diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment).
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

a stomach or intestinal disorder;
pancreatitis;
kidney disease; or
eye problems caused by diabetes (retinopathy).
Men and women should stop using semaglutide at least 2 months before you plan to get pregnant. Ask your doctor for a safer medicine to use during this time. Controlling diabetes is very important during pregnancy, as is gaining the right amount of weight. Even if you are overweight, losing weight during pregnancy could harm the unborn baby.

Ask a doctor if it is safe to breastfeed while using this Ozempic or Wegovy.

Semaglutide is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.
