Semanat 4 mg is a prescription injectable medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist used to help manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, together with diet and exercise. The 4 mg/3 mL presentation is supplied as a multiple-dose vial and is designed to provide four 1 mg doses.

What Is Semanat 4 mg?

Semanat 4 mg contains semaglutide 4 mg/3 mL (1.34 mg/mL). It is supplied in a multiple-dose vial for subcutaneous administration.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps improve blood glucose control by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, reducing glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying.

The 4 mg/3 mL vial contains enough semaglutide for four 1 mg doses, when used according to the prescribed dosing schedule.

How Does It Work?

Semanat contains semaglutide, which mimics the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1.

It works by:

• Stimulating insulin release when blood glucose levels are elevated.
• Reducing glucagon secretion, which can decrease glucose production by the liver.
• Slowing gastric emptying.
• Increasing feelings of fullness and reducing appetite.

These effects help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

How to Take Semanat 4 mg

• Administration: Semanat is administered by subcutaneous injection.
• Frequency: It is generally administered once weekly, on the same day each week.
• Injection Sites: The injection may be administered under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm according to medical instructions.
• Dose: Use the dose prescribed by your healthcare professional.
• Multiple-Dose Vial: The 4 mg/3 mL presentation contains four 1 mg doses according to the manufacturer’s listed presentation.

Do not change the dose or frequency without consulting your doctor.
