What is Ozempic for Weight Loss?

Ozempic is a prescription medication to promote weight loss in adults with a high body mass index (BMI). Ozempic belongs to a class of drugs referred to as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by increasing feelings of satiety and reducing hunger. When taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider, Ozempic can help people lose weight safely and healthily.

You should not take Ozempic if:

  • You have pancreatitis.
  • You have a history of metastatic thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
  • You are diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.
  • You have a severe past allergy to semaglutide or any of Ozempic's ingredients.

Benefits of Ozempic

Losing weight can be difficult, but Ozempic may offer a solution. Ozempic has demonstrated favourable results in clinical trials in those struggling with weight. In clinical trials, Ozempic caused a 15% reduction in weight compared to the placebo group. Ozempic is an effective weight loss method because it helps control your appetite and cravings while maintaining healthy weight loss. With Ozempic, you can finally achieve the results you’ve been striving for.

Ozempic is a very effective treatment for reducing blood sugar levels as well. In clinical studies, it has been found to reduce blood sugar levels by an average of 0.8% compared to diet and exercise. Ozempic is an excellent choice for those looking to manage their blood sugar levels effectively.

How Effective is Ozempic for Weight Loss?

The active ingredient in Ozempic, Semaglutide, contributes to appetite regulation and reduces blood sugar levels. On average, Semaglutide has demonstrated a bodyweight reduction of up to 10% among subjects.

Ozempic Generic Name & Class

Ozempic mimics the effects of a hormone called GLP-1. This hormone helps slow down the stomach's emptying after eating, which slows down sugar absorption. As a result, blood sugar levels remain under control, and weight loss is promoted.

How Ozempic Works

Ozempic contains GLP-1s, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. They work by causing the pancreas to produce insulin and bind to brain receptors. The chemical released by these receptors and insulin production will signal to your brain that you are full.

Though your body produces GLP-1s naturally, taking medication can help you lose weight faster. Your body does not retain GLP-1s for long, so they are safe and effective.

How is Ozempic Administered?

Ozempic is a pen injector that is easy to use and can be self-administered without needing a healthcare provider or clinician. When using Ozempic, you must inject it once a week at the same time into the fatty tissue just beneath the surface of the skin. When storing Ozempic, you must keep it between 36°F and 46°F. Your doctor will guide you through injecting Ozempic into your belly or upper thigh.

Ozempic Dosage

Your Weight Loss Coach healthcare professionals will start you on a higher dose of GLP-1 injectable medicine and gradually decrease it throughout treatment. This is known as the “step-up approach,” which helps to minimise any possible adverse effects of taking the medication.

Ozempic is taken once a week at a dose of 0.25 mg, increasing every four weeks until it reaches 1 mg. Our Weight Loss Coach healthcare professionals will advise you on when to take Ozempic.
