Ozempic or as it is generically known as Semaglutide is a treatment used for weight loss. This works through the reduction of appetite by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the body. When used with a balanced diet and an exercise regime, it can help to reduce weight in patients whose BMI (Body Mass Index) is over 30.

Ozempic is the brand name of the medication Semaglutide, which also the active ingredient in this drug. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. GLP-1 agonists work by mimicking and copying the natural work of hormones called incretins. Incretins are a group of hormones that control the functions of the pancreas.
