What Is Ozempic?
Ozempic is a powerful weight-loss drug containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the natural hunger-reducing hormones released by the body after meals. Ozempic helps control blood sugar, suppresses cravings, and reprograms the brain to accept satiation more rapidly, all of which lead to sustainable weight loss over time. Dr. Jugenburg starts patients at a low dose to minimize the risk of side effects, gradually increasing the dose until reaching a therapeutic level.
