Semaslim Injection 2.4 mg/0.75 ml contains Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used primarily for chronic weight management and improving glycemic control in adults. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping reduce hunger and calorie intake.

This high-strength formulation is typically prescribed for patients who require an advanced dose as part of a structured weight management program, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

This combined effect leads to reduced calorie intake and gradual, sustained weight loss.
