Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription injectable medication primarily approved for managing type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps lower blood sugar and A1C levels, and it is also approved to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, or death) and slow the decline of kidney function in certain patients.

Weight Loss A common side effect, but Ozempic is not FDA-approved for weight loss. A higher-dose version of semaglutide is available as Wegovy for weight management.
How It Works
Ozempic mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, helping to regulate blood sugar and appetite by stimulating insulin release, reducing sugar production by the liver, and slowing stomach emptying.
