ULTIMA-SEMAGLUTIDE (powder) - ULTIMA PHARMACEUTICALS
1 vial x 5 mg
Semaglutide, a medication targeting both diabetes and obesity, offers a multifaceted approach to health management. By mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, it regulates insulin production, thereby reducing blood glucose levels and promoting weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes and those seeking long-term weight management.
Benefits:
- Control of blood glucose levels in type II diabetes patients

- Promotion of weight loss in individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater with weight-related conditions
- Advised alongside dietary adjustments and exercise regimens
Mechanism of Action:
- Acts as a GLP-1 peptide agonist, stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon levels
