Potenza OB Injection 0.25 mg/0.5 ml contains Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and weight control. This lower-dose formulation is ideal for initiation or titration in adults who require gradual dose escalation to improve tolerability and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Semaglutide works by stimulating insulin secretion, reducing glucagon levels, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety, resulting in better glycemic control and support for weight management.
