Overview

SM5 is the store’s name for semaglutide, a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist. In Canada it is a prescription medicine for type 2 diabetes and for weight management.

How it works

It mimics the gut hormone GLP-1: it slows stomach emptying, increases insulin release when blood sugar is high and acts on appetite centres in the brain. A fatty side chain lets it bind albumin, which stretches its half-life to about a week.

Chemistry

From PubChem, the US National Library of Medicine’s chemistry database.

Semaglutide

Formula: C₁₈₇H₂₉₁N₄₅O₅₉
Molecular weight: 4114 g/mol
CAS: 910463-68-2

Clinical reference

Health Canada’s weight-management labelling starts at 0.25 mg once a week for four weeks, then steps up every four weeks (0.5, 1, 1.7 mg) to a maintenance amount of 2.4 mg a week. Diabetes labelling stops at 2 mg a week.

Label and guideline amounts are shown for reference only. They are not a recommendation, and we never give cycle or performance amounts. Any use belongs under a doctor’s care, with bloodwork.

Injection sites

SM5 10mg is a freeze-dried powder. After mixing with bacteriostatic water, compounds like this are usually injected subcutaneously (subQ): into the fat just under the skin with a short insulin needle.

Finding it. Anywhere on the belly at least 5 cm from the navel, avoiding scars and the belt line. Pinch a fold of skin and inject into it.

Why it is used. The most-used subcutaneous site: easy to see, plenty of fat and steady absorption. Weekly GLP-1 pens list it first.

Watch out. Move each injection 2 to 3 cm from the last to avoid hard lumps.

Why these sites for SM5 10mg

Subcutaneous (subQ)

Belly first. The abdomen has the most fat and the steadiest absorption, and you can see what you are doing.
Short needle, small volume. About 1 ml or less per spot with an insulin syringe. Pinch the skin if you are lean.
Move every time. Keep each injection 2 to 3 cm from the last to avoid lumps.

Every time: wash your hands, wipe the vial stopper and skin with alcohol, use a new sterile needle and syringe, and never share. See a doctor for spreading redness, heat, swelling, pus, fever or numbness. This is general guidance from standard nursing practice, not medical advice; a pharmacist or nurse can show you in person.

Combinations and interactions

Prescribed or used alongside

Bacteriostatic water to mix the powder and U-100 insulin syringes to measure it.
In practice it is prescribed alongside diet and activity changes, not combined with other GLP-1 class drugs.

Drug interactions

Insulin and sulfonylureas: higher risk of low blood sugar.
Oral medicines: slower stomach emptying can change how fast pills are absorbed.

Risks and bloodwork

Nausea and stomach upset

The most common effects, mostly when the amount is increased.

Pancreatitis

Rare; severe stomach pain that spreads to the back needs urgent care.

Gallbladder

Rapid weight loss increases gallstone risk.

Thyroid

Not used by people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer.

Bloodwork doctors check

Fasting glucose and HbA1c
Kidney function (creatinine, eGFR)
Lipase if stomach pain appears
Resting heart rate
Weight and waist measurements

Not for

People under 18, anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with active cancer or a history of cancer, and anyone with diabetes unless a doctor is involved.

Canadian legal status

In Canada this is a prescription drug under the Food and Drugs Act. Using it under a doctor’s care, with bloodwork, is how it is meant to be used. This is general information, not legal advice.
