What is Ozempic?
According to Dr. Atul Sardana, an obesity surgeon at Bariatrics Center (India), Ozempic works by simulating the hormone GLP-1 in the body. This hormone helps reduce blood sugar levels, slows digestion and helps users feel full longer."
Although not officially approved for weight loss, Ozempic has been used in addition to the prescription for obese people. A study published in JAMA Network Open showed that semaglutide users lost an average of 5.9% of their weight after 3 months and 10.9% after 6 months.
The drug helps reduce cravings, slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels. These effects help users eat less and control their weight more effectively.
Side effects to note
According to Harvard Health Publishing, the most common side effects include:
Nausea
Diarrhea or constipation
Bloating, stomach pain
Fatigue
Some less common but serious side effects may include:
Pancreatitis (violent abdominal pain and vomiting)
gallstones due to rapid weight loss
Dehydration and kidney problems
Consider before using
Ozempic can effectively support weight loss if used properly and with clear instructions. However, this is still a diabetes treatment, not a product specifically for people who want to lose weight regularly. Users need to consult a doctor before deciding to use it.
To lose weight sustainably and safely, eating scientifically and exercising regularly is still a priority method.
