Ozempic

Ozempic is a brand name for the medication semaglutide. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes and has also been approved by the FDA for use in weight management in adults with obesity or overweight who also have at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. It works by promoting the release of insulin and reducing appetite, leading to weight loss.

Ozempic, also known by its generic name semaglutide, is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. By increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon production, and slowing down gastric emptying, Ozempic can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. It may also help with weight management in people with obesity. Ozempic is typically used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise for optimal results.
