• A qualified healthcare professional will instruct you on how to administer Semanext 15 mg Injection (3ml Cartridge + 10 Needles).
• It is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It should not be injected intravenously or intramuscularly.

• Follow a calorie-controlled, balanced diet as advised by your doctor or dietitian. This is essential for weight loss and to maximise the effect of Semanext 15 mg Injection (3ml Cartridge + 10 Needles).
• Choose high-fibre, nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. These help you feel full longer and support blood sugar control.
• Avoid high-sugar and high-fat foods, which can slow weight loss and affect blood sugar levels. Limit processed snacks, fried foods, and sugary drinks.
• Eat smaller, frequent meals and chew slowly to reduce nausea and discomfort, as Semanext 15 mg Injection (3ml Cartridge + 10 Needles) slows stomach emptying.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This helps prevent dehydration, especially if you experience vomiting or diarrhoea, which are possible side effects.

• Be physically active for at least 150 minutes a week (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, swimming), as regular exercise enhances weight loss and improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
