Semasize (Semaglutide) Injection Pen – 0.25mg/0.5mg x 4 Doses (1mg/2mg Total)

Semasize Injection Pen is a once-weekly semaglutide GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Alkem Laboratories as an affordable Indian generic alternative to imported semaglutide weight management injections. Following the expiration of semaglutide patent protections in India in 2026, Semasize became one of the first widely available low-cost semaglutide products for weight management and appetite control.

This injection pen is designed for the initial starter and escalation phases of semaglutide therapy and may provide either:

• 4 weekly doses of 0.25mg (1mg total)
  OR
• 4 weekly doses of 0.5mg (2mg total)

depending on the prescribed dosing schedule.

Semasize is designed to support gradual weekly dose escalation for improved tolerability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects.

How Semasize Works

Semasize contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control.

It works by:

• Reducing hunger and food cravings
• Increasing fullness after meals
• Slowing stomach emptying
• Supporting blood sugar regulation
• Helping reduce calorie intake naturally

These effects may help support gradual and sustainable weight reduction over time.

• Weight management in adults with obesity

• Appetite control support
• Cardiovascular risk reduction in certain patients
