Complaint
Semaglutide acts similar to a human glucagon peptide-1 (GLP-1) that works similar to a hormone produced in our body called incretin. Incretin stimulates insulin secretion and sugar metabolism in response to increased glucose levels which usually occurs after meals. Patients with type 2 diabetes are usually at a total loss with incretin production.
In addition to lowering blood sugar levels, Ozempic lowers blood pressure, suppresses appetite and assists in chronic weight management.
It is also used for patients with heart disease and reduces the risk of death from stroke or heart attack.
Semaglutide should be used in combination with a proper diet and regular exercise.
Ozempic is the brand name of semaglutide which is an anti-diabetic (non-insulin) medication used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Benefits of using Ozempic include:
It is not intended to be used as a substitute for insulin treatment.
Ozempic is available as a prefilled disposable single-use injectable pen available in either 0.25mg and 1mg increments which is both safe and easy to administer even for those starting out.
