Ozempic is basically an FDA-approved prescription medication for type 2 diabetes. As per medical experts, Ozempic regulates blood sugar level by reducing glucose and increasing insulin production in the liver.

When used as a medication for weight loss, Ozempic works by curbing cravings, controlling appetite and making you feel full for a long duration. Additionally, it reduces insulin resistance – a major factor associated with weight gain.

While Ozempic offers several weight loss benefits, do not forget that it comes with side effects, too. The most commonly reported side effects of Ozempic include constipation, vomiting and nausea. Some people have also reported experiencing severe abdominal cramps, headaches and loss of appetite.
