Prescription Medicine for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
CELTUIDE
Once-Weekly GLP-1 Therapy to Help Manage Type 2 Diabetes
CELTUIDE is a prescription semaglutide injection designed to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes when used along with proper diet and regular physical activity. The once-weekly treatment supports better glucose regulation through GLP-1 receptor activation and convenient prefilled pen delivery.
CELTUIDE is not for weight loss. Individual results may vary.
HOW CELTUIDE WORKS
CELTUIDE is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy designed to help adults with type 2 diabetes improve blood glucose control when used together with a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
Improves Glycaemic Control
CELTUIDE helps lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are elevated and reducing the amount of glucagon released by the pancreas. This dual action supports improved glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes when used as prescribed.
Once-Weekly Injection
CELTUIDE is designed for once-weekly subcutaneous injection, allowing patients to manage their treatment with a simple dosing schedule. The prefilled injection pen provides accurate dosing and convenient administration that fits easily into a weekly routine.
Cardiovascular Benefit
In adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide may help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke, when used as part of an appropriate treatment plan.
CELTUIDE is not a substitute for insulin and is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
HOW TO TAKE CELTUIDE
CELTUIDE is administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection using a prefilled injection pen. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate starting dose and adjust the treatment gradually based on your individual needs and response.
01
Start with a Low Dose
Treatment typically begins with a lower starting dose to help your body adjust to the medication and reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects. Your healthcare provider will guide you on how to administer the injection correctly using the Celtuide pen.
02
Gradually Increase the Dose
After the initial treatment period, your doctor may gradually increase the dose depending on your blood sugar response and overall tolerance. This stepwise dose adjustment helps improve glycaemic control while ensuring the treatment remains well tolerated.
03
Maintain Once-Weekly Use
Once the recommended maintenance dose is reached, Celtuide should be taken once weekly on the same day each week. Consistent weekly administration helps maintain stable blood glucose control as part of your diabetes management plan.
USING THE CELTUIDE PEN
Celtuide is designed for convenient, once-weekly administration using a prefilled injection pen. The pen allows patients to deliver an accurate dose of semaglutide with a simple and easy-to-follow injection process.
Pre-Filled Injection Pen
Celtuide is supplied in a ready-to-use prefilled injection pen containing semaglutide solution and compatible disposable needles. The pen is designed for single-patient use and provides precise dose delivery with a simple dial-a-dose mechanism.
Subcutaneous Injection
Celtuide is administered under the skin (subcutaneously) as directed by your healthcare provider. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Always use a new sterile needle for each injection and follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Once-Weekly Routine
Celtuide should be injected once every week on the same day each week. This consistent dosing schedule helps maintain stable blood glucose levels and supports effective long-term diabetes management.
