Semaglutide Hilma Biocare

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a modern, scientifically proven method for weight loss, also known by its brand name Ozempic.

Who is it suitable for?

This weight loss method is suitable for both men and women, as well as people who don't visit the gym at all. The weight loss occurs because the medication suppresses hunger and regulates blood sugar levels. Additionally, Semaglutide reduces the risk of developing diabetes.

How to use it and dosage:

• You need to administer one injection once a week.
• The dosage can range from 1 to 3 mg, depending on your individual tolerance to the medication.
• Studies have shown that in a control group where participants took 2.4 mg once a week for a year or longer, results were significantly better than in the 1 mg group. The optimal dosage depends on your personal preferences, but we recommend a dose of 1-2 mg per week.
• A vial of Semaglutide contains 2 mg of active substance in powder form. You need to add Bacteriostatic Water (which you can purchase at a pharmacy or on our website) to it, and the product is ready to use.

A simple example:

Take 1 vial of 2 mg Semaglutide,
Take 1 vial of 10 ml Bacteriostatic Water,
Take a 1 ml (1 cc) insulin syringe,
Add 1 ml (1 cc) of Bacteriostatic Water to the 2 mg Semaglutide vial.

If you want to inject 2 mg of Semaglutide, you should inject 1 ml (1 cc) of the prepared solution.

If you want to inject 1 mg of Semaglutide, inject 0.5 ml (0.5 cc) of the prepared solution. The remaining 0.5 ml can be stored in the refrigerator until the next injection in a week. The remaining Bacteriostatic Water can also be stored in the refrigerator.

How long does the course last?

Studies mention the use of Semaglutide for up to 1 year or even longer. You can start with an 8-12 week course and continue it until you achieve the desired results.

The medication is administered subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh, or shoulder. The injection site can be rotated without adjusting the dose. The medication MUST NOT be injected intravenously or intramuscularly. You can find examples on YouTube of how to perform subcutaneous injections into the abdomen, thigh, or shoulder.

In 30% of cases, gastrointestinal side effects are reported, and they do not subside with a reduction in dosage.
