Methods of Use
Semaglutide is available clinically in two dosage forms: subcutaneous injection and oral tablets. Specific usage guidelines are as follows:
* **Subcutaneous Injection (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy):** Administer subcutaneously once weekly, via the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Injection time is not affected by meals, but it is recommended to administer on the same day each week. If the injection date needs to be changed, the interval between doses must be greater than 48 hours. If a dose is missed, if more than 2 days have passed since the next dose, administer it as soon as possible; if less than 2 days have passed, skip the missed dose.
* **Oral Tablets (e.g., Rybelsus, Wegovy Oral Tablets):** Administer once daily on an empty stomach in the morning with no more than half a cup of water. Do not eat, drink, or take other oral medications for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication to ensure optimal absorption.
* **Dosage Titration:** To minimize gastrointestinal side effects, a gradual dose increase should be followed. Injectable semaglutide typically starts at 0.25 mg weekly, increasing every 4 weeks; oral semaglutide starts at 3 mg daily, increasing to 7 mg after 30 days, and up to 14 mg if necessary.
Application Scenarios
Depending on the dosage form and dosage, semaglutide is primarily used clinically in the following scenarios:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Management: As an adjunct to diet and exercise, it significantly reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). For T2DM patients with cardiovascular disease or chronic kidney disease, it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and delay the progression of end-stage renal disease.
Chronic Weight Management: For adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² (obese) or a BMI ≥ 27 kg/m² (overweight) and at least one weight-related comorbidity. High-dose injectable semaglutide (2.4 mg) or oral tablets (25 mg) can achieve significant weight loss (average 15%-18%). Cardiovascular Protection: Approved for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in overweight or obese adults with cardiovascular disease (without a history of diabetes).
Contraindications: This drug is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2).
Storage Conditions:
As a polypeptide biologic, Semaglutide is temperature sensitive and must be stored strictly according to the following guidelines:
Injection (Unopened/Before First Use): Must be stored in a medical refrigerated environment at 2°C to 8°C, protected from light. Freezing is strictly prohibited; if the drug freezes, it must be discarded.
Injection (Opened/After First Use): Can be stored at room temperature (not exceeding 30°C) or refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C, with the pen cap on to protect from light. The pen used after the first use must be used within 6 weeks (approximately 42 days). The needle should be removed after each injection and during storage to prevent contamination and leakage.
Oral tablets: No refrigeration required. Store at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.
