How does Ozempic work for weight loss?

Ozempic is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It can also be prescribed for weight loss in certain cases.

Ozempic works by regulating blood sugar levels, as well as suppressing hunger and cravings, leading to fewer calories consumed and natural weight loss.

Common side effects include nausea, headache, stomach pain, itching or rash, dizziness and cold symptoms.

People with kidney disease or heart failure should not take Ozempic for weight loss without consulting their doctor. Pregnant women and people with Type 1 diabetes should also not take this medication without medical consultation.
