Ozempic 20mg

Ozempic (semaglutide) is primarily used in adults with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar control when combined with diet and exercise. It also helps reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and can lower the risk of worsening kidney disease in certain patients. While Ozempic has been shown to aid in weight loss, it is not FDA-approved for weight management (unlike Wegovy)

Mechanism of Action
Ozempic is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone GLP-1 released after eating. It works by:
Stimulating insulin release when blood sugar is high
Reducing glucagon secretion to limit glucose release from the liver
Slowing stomach emptying to increase satiety and reduce appetite
