Drug Class:
GLP-1 receptor agonist (glucagon-like peptide-1)

How It Works:

Ozempic mimics the GLP-1 hormone that helps regulate blood sugar by:

• Stimulating insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are high

• Reducing the amount of glucose released by the liver

• Slowing gastric emptying, which can help reduce appetite and support weight loss

Indications:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to improve glycemic control)

• Cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease

• Often prescribed off-label as part of weight management plans under physician supervision

Dosage & Administration:

Ozempic is injected subcutaneously once a week in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Dosing typically starts at 0.25 mg weekly for the first month, increasing to 0.5 mg or 1 mg based on response and tolerability. A 2 mg dose is also available for patients requiring additional glycemic control.

Common Side Effects:

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Diarrhea or constipation

• Abdominal pain

• Decreased appetite

These side effects often decrease over time as the body adjusts.

Serious Risks:

• Risk of thyroid C-cell tumors (in animal studies) – not recommended for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2

• Pancreatitis

• Kidney problems

• Gallbladder issues (e.g., gallstones)

Warnings & Precautions:
