Swelling after Semabest 2mg injection
My mother was administered her 2nd dose of Injection Semabest 2mg PFS today for weight management. While injecting a small pea sized swelling and mild redness appeared at the injection site. This did not happen during the 1st dose. There is no severe pain or other symptoms right now. Please advise if this is normal reaction or if any treatment/precaution is needed.
Thank you.

Swelling after a semaglutide injection can sometimes be a local injection-site reaction, but generalized swelling or swelling of the face/lips/tongue can indicate a hypersensitivity reaction and should not be ignored. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and anaphylaxis, have been reported with semaglutide. �
FDA Access Data
If there is swelling of the face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing or swallowing, widespread rash/itching, dizziness or fainting, please seek emergency medical care immediately and do not take another dose until medically evaluated. �
FDA Access Data +1
If the swelling is only around the injection site, please share when it started, its size, whether it is painful/red/warm, and whether it is increasing. A consultation can help determine whether this is a simple local reaction or an allergic/infective reaction.

Mild swelling and redness at the injection site can occur after semaglutide and usually resolves within a few days.
Apply a cool compress and avoid rubbing or massaging the area.
Seek medical care if swelling/redness rapidly increases, severe pain, fever, breathing difficulty, or facial swelling develops.

Mild swelling and redness at the injection site can occur with semaglutide and usually settles within a few days. Use a cool compress and avoid rubbing or massaging the area. Seek urgent care if redness spreads, pain worsens, pus/fever develops, or you notice facial swelling or breathing difficulty. Share a clear photo and consult me on Practo or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj for a review.

Your photo shows a small pink raised area at the injection site. A mild local reaction like this is common with weekly injections and usually settles on its own within a few days. A cool compress and not rubbing the spot is enough for now.
Health Tips
Contact your prescribing doctor the same day if the redness spreads, feels hot, or you develop fever, hives or any breathing difficulty.
