Ozempic

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medication used to support weight loss and weight management by helping regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve the way the body processes blood sugar.

Ozempic is an injectable medication containing semaglutide, primarily approved for type 2
diabetes. It helps with weight loss by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which reduces appetite, slows digestion, and improves blood sugar control.

Ozempic is usually prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes who are also overweight or obese and are seeking weight management alongside blood sugar control.

Most patients notice weight loss within a few weeks of starting treatment, with significant progress typically seen after 12–16 weeks of consistent use.
This treatment is prescribed for adults who are overweight or obese, particularly those with weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It is given as a once-weekly injection alongside diet and lifestyle changes. See pricing details here.

Common Question

Ozempic is not specifically FDA-approved for weight loss but is often used off-label for this purpose. Wegovy, a higher-dose version of semaglutide, is the version approved for weight management.
Yes, Ozempic may be prescribed off-label for weight loss in non-diabetic individuals, but it should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Ozempic may interact with medications like insulin or oral diabetes drugs, increasing the risk of low blood sugar. Discuss all medications with your doctor before starting Ozempic.
Ozempic is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Your healthcare provider will show you how to use the injection pen and administer the dose properly.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible within 5 days. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
Discontinuing Ozempic may result in weight regain, as the medication supports ongoing appetite control. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.
