Description
Ozempic® is a brand-name version of semaglutide, a type of medication known as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Ozempic® is generally prescribed to manage specific symptoms and risks associated with type 2 diabetes, but it can also be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a provider’s discretion. Ozempic® works by slowing digestion, helping you feel full longer. Like other GLP-1 receptor agonists, it mimics a natural hormone that manages blood sugar and may aid in weight loss.
The rate of weight loss and the amount varies depending on your starting weight, adherence to the program, and specific medications used. GLP-1 medications have been shown to, on average, help individuals lose 15% of their weight in a year.2
Weight loss injections, such as those containing GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These injections slow gastric emptying and increase feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss.
