You can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion, slowing down gastric emptying, and reducing appetite.
Ozempic is typically injected once weekly. It is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, semaglutide has been studied for its potential benefits in weight management and cardiovascular health.
Celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne and Stephen Fry popularised the use of the weight loss management drug.
