How Semma Works
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Semma, mimics the incretin hormone GLP-1. It activates GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas so insulin is released in proportion to blood glucose, reduces glucagon output from the liver, slows gastric emptying, and lowers appetite; improving glycaemic control and often supporting gradual weight loss. At 14mg, Semma delivers its strongest available effect, reserved for patients who need further control after 7mg.
💊 Dosage and Administration
● Take one 14mg tablet once daily on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, with about 120ml of plain water.
● Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything else, or taking other medicines.
● Used only after at least 4 weeks on 7mg, when further glycaemic control is still needed; do not split, crush, or chew it.
⚠️ Side Effects
● Common: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced appetite, abdominal discomfort
● Less common: constipation, heartburn, bloating, fatigue
● Serious but rare: pancreatitis and severe allergic reaction; seek medical care immediately if these occur
Semma Uses
Semma Tablet is used for:
● Glycaemic Control: improving blood sugar (HbA1c, fasting and post-meal glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes, as an adjunct to diet and exercise
● Combination or Monotherapy: as monotherapy when metformin is unsuitable, or combined with other diabetes medicines such as metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, or insulin
● Cardiovascular Risk Reduction: lowering the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease
● Secondary Benefit: gradual, doctor-supervised weight loss (approved for diabetes management, not specifically for chronic weight management)
Who Should Use Semma
Semma suits adults with type 2 diabetes who need better blood sugar control alongside diet and exercise, including those who can't tolerate metformin or have established cardiovascular disease, and who a doctor has assessed as suitable for oral GLP-1 therapy. This 14mg strength is for patients who have already tolerated at least 4 weeks on 7mg and need further glycaemic control at the maximum oral dose.
🚫 Who Should Avoid It
Avoid Semma, or use only under close medical supervision, if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2, or a known allergy to Semaglutide. It is not for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe gastrointestinal disease. A history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or significant kidney/liver impairment needs assessment first, and it should generally be stopped at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy; discuss with your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can It Be Taken Long Term?
Yes, Semma is typically an ongoing, long-term treatment, taken for as long as your doctor advises and you tolerate it well, with periodic review of HbA1c, kidney function, and side effects.
🛡️ Precautions and Drug Interactions
● Insulin or Sulfonylureas: combining these with Semma raises the risk of low blood sugar; your doctor may lower their dose
● Other Oral Medicines: Semma slows gastric emptying, which can affect absorption of other tablets; tell your doctor everything you take
● Existing Conditions: flag any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, or diabetic eye disease before starting
🏠 Storage
Store Semma at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct light and moisture, in its original blister packaging until use. No refrigeration is required. Keep out of the reach and sight of children, and do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the pack.
