## What is Obesema 2.4 mg Injection

Obesema 2.4 mg Injection is prescribed for chronic weight management to people who are overweight or obese. It also helps with blood sugar control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. It is supplied as a prefilled multi-dose pen with 4 needles and 4 alcohol swabs in a box. It is manufactured by Alkem Laboratories in WHO-GMP-compliant facilities.

Obesema 2.4 mg Injection contains FDA-approved Semaglutide base 9.6 mg/3 mL. It is a Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonist that acts like a natural gut hormone. It basically tells the pancreas to release insulin when blood sugar is high, which lowers glucagon and slows stomach emptying. Because of this, Semaglutide can help improve fullness, reduce appetite and support gradual weight loss.

Obesema 2.4 mg is not a starting dose; it is typically a final maintenance dose escalated gradually based on treatment response. The injection is to be administered subcutaneously (under the skin, into the fatty tissue layer) by a healthcare professional. Injection sites should be rotated to avoid skin-related reactions.

Common Semaglutide side effects include nausea, vomiting, Diarrhea, and headache, which subside within a few days. Constipation can persist, so ask your doctor about stool softeners or laxatives to help manage it. Seek medical advice if there is persistent vomiting, severe stomach pain or vision changes.

People with a history of Pancreatitis or Gastroparesis, a known allergy to GLP-1s or severe kidney issues should avoid use. Semaglutide has a boxed warning for the risk of Thyroid C-cell Tumors based on rodent studies. Those with a personal or family history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 (MEN 2) or Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma should not use it.

Store the Obesema 2.4 mg prefilled pen in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C). Keep it protected from heat and light, but do not freeze it.
