Ozempic

Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon production.

Ozempic is typically administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week. It's often used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Some people also use it for weight management because it can lead to weight loss as a side effect.

As with any medication, it's important to use Ozempic as prescribed by a healthcare professionals.
