How to take Semapic

---

The beginning dose is 0.25 mg once a week for the first four weeks. This will help your body get used to the medicine. 

At Week 5, your healthcare provider will increase the dose to 0.5 mg once a week.

Your A1C needs may shift as your type 2 diabetes changes. That’s why Semapic offers pens that deliver doses of 1 mg or doses of 2 mg to give you additional A1C control. And while your dose may change, nothing will change about how you take Semapic—the 1 mg and 2 mg dose pens are the same as the pen you already use.

The maximum dose of Semapic is 2 mg once a week. Always follow your health care provider's instructions on how to dose Semapic.
