SemO is an oral formulation of semaglutide, a revolutionary medication that helps control blood sugar and support weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. Manufactured by Getz Pharma, SemO is now available in Pakistan as an affordable and convenient alternative to Rybelsus, the original oral semaglutide by Novo Nordisk.

💊 What Is SemO (Oral Semaglutide)?

SemO contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist.
It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that:

• Increases insulin release when blood sugar levels are high

• Slows stomach emptying, keeping you full longer

• Reduces appetite and calorie intake

• Lowers blood sugar and promotes gradual weight loss

Unlike injectable GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), SemO is taken orally once daily, making it ideal for those who prefer tablets over injections.

💡 Prices may vary slightly by city and pharmacy. Check with your local pharmacy or Getz Pharma distributor for current rates.

🩸 How to Take SemO Tablets

• Take one tablet once daily on an empty stomach.

• Swallow it with two full glasses of water (approximately 240–300 mL).

• Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medicines.

• Consistency is key — take it at the same time every morning.

SemO 3 mg is usually started first for one month, followed by a gradual increase to 7 mg and then 14 mg as tolerated, depending on blood sugar control and side effects.

⚖️ Benefits of SemO

1. Improves blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes

2. Supports weight loss by reducing appetite

3. Reduces HbA1c (average blood sugar levels)

4. May protect the heart and blood vessels

5. Convenient once-daily oral tablet — no injections required

⚠️ Possible Side Effects

Most people tolerate SemO well. However, mild side effects may occur, especially during the first few weeks:

• Nausea or bloating

• Decreased appetite

• Mild diarrhea or constipation

• Headache

These usually improve with time. To reduce side effects, follow your doctor’s guidance on dose escalation and hydration.

Seek immediate medical advice if you experience persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, or signs of dehydration.

🩺 Who Should Use SemO?

SemO is recommended for adults with:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus (especially those uncontrolled on metformin)

• Overweight or obesity with metabolic risk factors

It is not for type 1 diabetes or for those with a history of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid cancer, or MEN 2 syndrome.

Always consult your diabetologist or endocrinologist before starting SemO.
