Ozempic

Ozempic is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient semaglutide, used primarily to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps your body release insulin when blood sugar levels are high, suppresses appetite, and slows stomach emptying. This combination helps lower blood sugar and can also assist with weight management. Ozempic is typically administered once a week via injection. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and discuss any concerns or side effects.
