Ozempic is a medication containing semaglutide used to treat type 2 diabetes and aid in weight loss. It is taken once a week through injection and is effective in improving blood sugar levels and aiding weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Ozempic works by helping the pancreas release insulin to lower blood sugar levels and decreasing the production of glucagon, which increases blood sugar. The medication is developed by Novo Nordisk and is one of several brand names for semaglutide. Clinical trials have shown that Ozempic is a safe and effective treatment for obese patients to aid in weight loss, with an average weight loss of 14.9% over time. It can take eight weeks or more to see the full effect of the medication.
Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management. It is available under the brand names Wegovy and Ozempic, and is administered through injection. Semaglutide works by helping the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high, and helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. However, it may increase the risk of developing tumors in the thyroid gland. The medication has been shown to be effective in promoting weight loss, with patients taking the 2.4mg dose losing approximately 12% of their weight within 28 weeks. Cost-wise, a one-month supply can range from $149-$399 depending on dosage.
