Description

Ozempic® is a once-weekly injectable medication used to manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss in certain patients. It contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone to regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite.

It has gained popularity for its clinically-proven ability to support weight reduction in patients with or without diabetes, under medical supervision.
