Ozempic is used:
on its own – if your blood sugar is not controlled well enough by diet and exercise alone, and you cannot use metformin (another diabetes medicine) or
with other medicines for diabetes – when they are not enough to control your blood sugar levels. These other medicines may include: oral antidiabetics (such as metformin, thiazolidinediones, sulfonylureas, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor) or insulin.
You must continue with your diet and exercise plan as told by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
Wegovy and Ozempic are the same drugs, sold under different brand names but the license for what they are used differs.
How does Ozempic (Semaglutide) work?
Ozempic (Semaglutide) helps to reduce appetite and food cravings in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise by targeting the hormone GLP-1. This natural hormone manages blood glucose levels, which can help promote insulin production from your pancreas when sugar is too high or remove excess sugars from the liver if they are not needed – making it useful for type 2 diabetes management. Ultimately, this causes digestion to slow down after eating so that you feel fuller sooner while still getting all of their essential nutrients.
