Ozempic is an antidiabetic medication usually used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.

Ozempic for Weight Loss

Semaglutide increases insulin secretion and helps reduce blood glucose level. Side effects of Ozempic include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.

It's a drug approved by the US FDA for diabetic people. The drug is effective in glycemic control and reducing BMI in obese individuals. Pharma companies brand this drug as a weight loss medication rather than a diabetic drug.
