Semaglutide (Or Ozempic) for weight loss is a medication that is used to help people who are overweight or obese lose weight. It works by affecting the release of hormones that control appetite and food intake. When taken at a higher dose than the dose used for diabetes, it can help people lose weight by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide (Or Ozempic) works for weight loss by affecting the hormones that control appetite and food intake. Here are some key points:
- Delays stomach emptying. This leads to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
- Lowers blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
- Stimulates insulin secretion by the pancreas.
Who Is Semaglutide Best For?
Semaglutide (Or Ozempic) has proven to be effective for a wide variety of people with obesity. This includes people with high BMI without or without a history of Diabetes regardless of race or ethnicity. It may be most helpful for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise alone.
Is Semaglutide Safe?
Semaglutide is FDA approved, but like any other drug, you should always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure Semaglutide is right for you before you start your weightloss journey.
