What is Ozempic?
Ozempic (also known by its generic name semaglutide) is an injectable non-insulin medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Ozempic is used as an adjunct to proper diet and exercise for improving blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
Although Ozempic is not a weight-loss medication, many people who take Ozempic lose weight. In one large study , people who took the 1mg dose of Ozempic lost an average of 12 lbs. during the one-year study period (average starting weight was 198 lbs.). Further, a series of large clinical studies showed the weight loss effects of Ozempic to be superior to a number of other diabetes medications.
People who have been prescribed Ozempic have the convenient option to buy Ozempic online as a way to reduce the Ozempic cost.

What you should know before using Ozempic
Ozempic is not for use in type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Ozempic should not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of certain types of thyroid tumors, or of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Due to the potential risk of thyroid tumors, people taking Ozempic should inform their prescriber of symptoms that may indicate a thyroid tumor, such as:
An unexplained growth in the neck
Hoarseness of the voice
Difficulty swallowing
Difficulty breathing
Ozempic has not been studied for use in people who have had pancreatitis.
Ozempic's side effects on pregnancy are uncertain, but there may be a risk of harm to the fetus. However, uncontrolled blood sugar levels in pregnancy carry a significant risk of major birth defects and other adverse outcomes. As such, Ozempic should only be used in pregnancy if the potential outcome justifies the potential risks, after careful discussion with an obstetrician. Ozempic should be discontinued at least two months prior to a planned pregnancy. Ozempic side effects on lactation and the breastfed infant are unknown.

FAQ's
What is the proper Ozempic dosage?
Ozempic dosing has the attractive advantage of being a once-weekly medication. It can be taken any time of day, with or without meals.
As with other diabetes medications, Ozempic dosing is started at a low dose and titrated upward based on blood sugar control and the tolerability of any Ozempic side effects that may occur. Ozempic dosing is usually started at 0.25 mg once weekly and increased to 0.5 mg once weekly after four weeks.
Ozempic dosing can be further increased to 1 mg once weekly after a minimum of four weeks if additional blood sugar control is needed.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic is a "glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist" medication and is similar to the body's insulin-stimulating hormone incretin. Ozempic works by helping the body produce more of its own natural insulin when blood sugar levels are too high.
Ozempic's weight loss effects are due to its slowing of stomach emptying after meals, thereby reducing appetite.
How do you use the Ozempic pen?
Ozempic is self-administered using an easy to use single-use disposable injection pen. These pens are available in all three Ozempic dosage forms: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg.
Ozempic pens come in a carton containing one multi-dose pen and four Novofine Plus 4mm 32G needles. Each pen contains 1.5mL (2mg) of Ozempic solution. The following precautions should be observed:
Ozempic pens should never be frozen, and should be kept away from excessive heat or direct sunlight
Ozempic pens in use should be thrown away after 56 days of use, even if they still contain medication
Ozempic pens should be capped when not in use, and should never be stored with a needle attached
Ozempic pens should never be shared with other people, even if the needle has been changed
Ozempic is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdominal area, thigh, or upper arm. A different injection site should be used each week when injecting into the same body area.
The manufacturer recommends the following steps for using the Ozempic pen:
Wash your hands
Read the label to ensure your pen contains Ozempic
Make sure that the liquid in your pen is clear and colorless, or almost colorless
Attach a needle by removing the paper tab, pushing and turning the needle onto the injector until it is tight, and pulling off both needle caps
Check the dose flow and select the desired dose
Insert the needle into the injection area, press and hold down the dose button
After the dose counter reaches zero, slowly count to six
After removing the needle, carefully place it in a sharps container
Put the pen cap back on
