Ozempic®

Ozempic is a prescription medication that can help you lose weight and manage your type 2 diabetes. It is a once-weekly injectable medication that works by regulating your blood sugar levels and reducing your appetite.

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone your body naturally produces to help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Ozempic works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, which helps to lower blood sugar levels and reduce appetite.

Let's talk how this medication works for your weight loss.

How does Ozempic work for weight loss?

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics a natural hormone that helps to control blood sugar levels.
Ozempic works by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas, which helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals.
Ozempic also slows down gastric emptying, which means it takes longer for food to leave the stomach, which can help to reduce hunger and promote satiety.

Form and dosing for Ozempic

Ozempic® comes in an easy-to-use injection that starts at a low dose of 0.25 mg once a week. The dose may be adjusted based on your individual needs and how you respond to the medication. Our Indianapolis weight loss team will work with you to find the right dose for you.

Common side effects of Ozempic

Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain can all be uncomfortable side effects of some GLP-1s. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can impact your daily life. If you’re experiencing any of these side effects, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider. They can help you find ways to manage your symptoms and make sure you’re getting the best possible care.
