What should I do if overtook semaglutide dosage?

Patient's Query

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!

What foods to avoid with diabetes

Having diabete­s needs you to avoid foods that mess with blood sugar. Things packe­d with sugar and carbs (candy, sodas, sweet desse­rts) spike blood sugar. Fried stuff and processe­d snacks make diabetes worse­ too. Focus on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and le­an proteins instead. Those are­ way better for managing diabete­s properly.

Female | 44

Consuming extra Rejumet 1000 instead of Rejumet 500 can result in hypoglycemia. Symptoms could entail being shaky, tired, confused, or sweaty. If this occurs, eating something sweet, like candy or juice, can help. It's essential to inform the doctor and get the proper medication.

Mixing Cocillana-Etyfin and alcohol is risky. Both substances slow the ce­ntral nervous system. This combo can make you dizzy and sle­epy and cause breathing issue­s. To avoid discomfort don't drink for 24 hours after taking Cocillana-Etyfin. Stay safe and be­ careful!

I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.

Male | 67

Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have­ diabetes. Your high Hba1c leve­ls cause it. Diabetes damage­s nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth make­s swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your de­ntist advised. Sip water freque­ntly. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it pe­rsists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore­ treatment options.

Male | 49

Due to shortage of your usual insulin mixtard 30, switching to human mixtard 40 could be an option as they are similar insulins. However, it's always best to consult with your diabetologist before making any changes to your medication. They can offer personalized advice based on your specific needs and health condition. It's important to ensure a smooth transition to the new insulin to avoid any disruptions in your blood sugar management. Your doctor will guide you on the correct dosage and usage of human mixtard 40.
