How Does Ozempic Work for Weight Loss

Ozempic has become a breakthrough in weight loss treatment.  It works as an injection that mimics a hormone targeting areas of the brain responsible for appetite control. Ozempic supports significant weight loss by reducing hunger and calorie intake.

This approach helps manage blood sugar levels while promoting weight loss.

Ozempic was approved by the FDA in 2017 for type 2 diabetes. It may be prescribed off-label for weight loss by a licensed medical provider.

Ozempic is injected once a week and works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This regulates blood sugar and appetite and helps lower A1C.

Dosage, Safety and Administration

Dosage

Ozempic comes in different dosages and forms to meet different medical needs and treatment plans. The medication is available in pre-filled dosage pens. Common dosages include 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, and a 2.4 mg dose for weight loss.

Note: Healthcare providers prescribe Ozempic dosages based on a patient’s health condition, weight loss goals, and response to treatment. For weight loss in non-diabetic patients, doctors often start with a lower dose and increase it to a maximum dose, depending on the patient’s tolerance and progress.

Important Safety Guidelines

Do not share your Ozempic® pen with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.

Boxed Warning

Risk of thyroid C−cell tumors

• In rodents, semaglutide causes thyroid C-cell tumors. It is unknown whether
OZEMPIC® causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid
carcinoma (MTC), in humans as the human relevance of semaglutide-induced
rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined (5.1, 13.1).
• OZEMPIC® is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of
MTC or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN
2). Counsel patients regarding the potential risk of MTC and symptoms of
thyroid tumors (4, 5.1).

Storage

  • Keep unused Ozempic pens in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).
  • After starting a pen, you can store it at room temperature below 30°C (86°F) or keep it in the refrigerator.
  • Avoid freezing Ozempic and protect it from direct heat and light. Proper storage ensures the medication remains effective.

Side Effects of Ozempic

Most side effects of Ozempic are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. But it’s still important to be aware of possible reactions.

Common Side Effects

Nausea: Most common side effect, especially when starting the medication or increasing the dose.

Diarrhea: Some people may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, including diarrhea or constipation.

Vomiting: A small percentage of users report vomiting, especially at the start of treatment.

Fatigue: Feeling tired or lethargic can occur, but this usually improves over time.

Serious Side Effects (Rare)

 

  • Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas can occur while taking GLP-1 medications. Symptoms include severe stomach pain and nausea.
  • Thyroid Cancer Risk: Anyone with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer should avoid using it.
  • Increased risk of suicidal ideation/thoughts of harming themselves.
  • Muscle atrophy
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Hair loss

Managing Side Effects

Most side effects, such as nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort, improve over time.

To reduce the likelihood of these issues, your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dose and gradually increase it.

  • Small, Balanced Meals: Eating smaller meals, avoiding greasy or heavy foods, and staying hydrated can also help alleviate side effects.
  • Stay Well Hydrated: Staying hydrated is crucial, especially if you’re active or exercising regularly. Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day. Dehydration can exacerbate side effects, making you feel worse. If you’re sweating heavily due to exercise or hot weather, be sure to replenish lost fluids.
  • Replenish Electrolytes: When sweating, you lose not only water but also electrolytes. Consider low-sugar electrolyte drinks or rehydration powders. Maintaining a balance of electrolytes can prevent symptoms like dizziness or weakness.
  • Pace Yourself During Physical Activity: Physical activity can be an important part of your health routine, but listen to your body. With GLP-1 medications, some people find it helpful to scale back on intense exercise in the early weeks to allow their body to adjust.
