What is Ozempic
Ozempic is a prescription medication based on semaglutide. Semaglutide belongs to a class of medicines known as GLP-1 receptor agonists — substances that mimic the action of a natural hormone involved in regulating appetite, satiety, and blood glucose levels.
The medication may be prescribed by a doctor to patients with metabolic disorders, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or excess body weight when medically indicated.
