What is Ozempic?
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injectable medication FDA-approved to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar, alongside diet and exercise. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Many people taking Ozempic for diabetes also experience weight loss, though Ozempic itself isn't FDA-approved specifically as a weight-loss treatment.

Serious risks
Ozempic may cause thyroid tumors in rodents. It is not for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.
How your Ozempic
dose is set
Ozempic dosing starts low and increases gradually, both to help your body adjust and to reduce the chance of digestive side effects. A typical schedule looks like this:
1
Week 1 to 4
0.25 mg
once weekly
Starting dose only. This amount alone does not treat blood sugar, it gives your body time to adjust.
2
Week 5 to 8
0.5 mg
once weekly
A common maintenance dose.
3
Week 9 onwards
1 mg
once weekly
May increase to 1 mg, and later up to a maximum of 2 mg., if more blood sugar control is needed.

GLP-1 medications focus on regulating appetite and blood sugar, unlike many weight loss pills that act as stimulants or suppressants. They are given by injection and are often more effective for long-term results.
