Get an Ozempic online prescription for weight loss

Ozempic’s active ingredient, semaglutide, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medication. As an agonist, it mimics GLP-1 which is a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and eating. It also stimulates insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion, which is why Ozempic helps reduce blood sugar.

Put simply, using Ozempic makes you feel more full and happy to eat less. Combine that with a reduced-calorie diet and being more physically active and you improve blood sugar levels and lose weight.

In clinical trials, people with type 2 diabetes taking 2 milligrams of Ozempic once a week lost at least 5% — and in some cases more than 10% — of their body weight in 40 weeks.

When you take Ozempic, you inject yourself once a week using a prefilled pen. You give yourself the injection under your skin, usually in the belly or upper thigh. You can also have another person inject you in the back of your arm if you’d prefer.

Ozempic is taken in 1 of 4 doses — .25, .50, 1.0,  or 2.0. Those doses come in 1 of 3 pens. The smallest pen has 2 milligrams and can be used for 4 .25- and 2 .50-milligram doses or 4 .5-milligram doses. The 4- and 8-milligram pens last for a month of 1- or 2-milligram doses. 

You start Ozempic with .25 milligrams once a week for 4 weeks. Starting with the smallest dose gives your body time to adjust and helps minimize side effects. After a month, you start taking the next higher dose. You continue increasing your dose every 4 weeks until you reach your maintenance dose, which can be 1.0 or 2.0 milligrams

Clinical studies show that people taking Ozempic lose more weight when using the 2.0-milligram dose. People do lose weight with the 1.0-milligram dose though. And if you don’t need 2.0 milligrams for ideal blood sugar control, your healthcare provider may have you stick with 1.0 milligrams.

Compared to other medications for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, Ozempic is one of the more effective. Wegovy, its weight loss-specific counterpart, is more effective for weight loss than Ozempic because its typical maintenance dose is higher than Ozempic’s. Zepbound (tirzepatide), the newest weight loss medication, has helped people lose more weight than either Wegovy or Ozempic.

Ozempic is a bit cheaper than both Wegovy and Zepbound, which both cost about $1,400 a month.

Only you and your healthcare provider can decide which weight loss medication and plan is right for you and your needs.
