ozempic weight loss

Description

Semaglutide has a chemical structure that is very similar to the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 , which regulates both insulin secretion and appetite. In December, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the semaglutide injection Ozempic as a once-weekly adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide may help people with obesity lose weight. A compound that mimics a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite may help people who have obesity but not diabetes to lose weight, a new study suggests.
