Description

What is Ozempic?

Ozempic is a medication designed to:

  • Help control blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes.
  • Reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, or death) in adults with heart disease.
  • Aid in weight loss for people who are overweight or obese when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Key Ingredient:
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimics a natural hormone that:

  • Stimulates insulin production in response to food.
  • Slows digestion, helping regulate blood sugar.
  • Suppresses appetite, aiding weight loss.

How Does Ozempic Work?

Ozempic reduces blood sugar and supports weight management by:

  1. Slowing the speed at which food leaves your stomach.
  2. Reducing hunger and food intake.
  3. Blocking the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar.

It also helps lower A1C levels (a measure of average blood sugar over 3 months).

In studies, Ozempic helped patients with an average starting A1C of 8.1 achieve levels below 7 (the target for most people) within 12 months.


Dosage and Administration

  • Starting Dose: 0.25 mg once weekly for four weeks.
  • Maintenance Dose: 0.5 mg weekly, possibly increased based on results.

How to Use:

  • Inject once a week, on the same day, at the same time (with or without food).
  • Use the pre-filled pen to inject under the skin of the abdomen, upper thigh, or upper arm.
  • Rotate injection sites weekly to avoid irritation.

  • Take it within 5 days of the missed dose. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
  • Do not double-dose.
