Potenza OB Injection 1 mg/0.5 ml contains Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management. This high-dose formulation is intended for patients who have completed the initial titration phase and require maximum therapeutic effect to optimize glycemic control and promote weight reduction. Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and increases satiety, helping patients achieve better blood sugar control and improved metabolic health.
