(Semaglutide) Injection: Ozempic® is a brand-name version of the generic medication semaglutide, which is a type of medication called a GLP-1.
Ozempic is a brand-name version of the generic medication semaglutide, which is a type of medication called a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist. Instead of that tongue-twister of a name, we call these medications “GLP-1s” for short.
Ozempic is FDA-approved for the management of certain symptoms and risks of type 2 diabetes.
Ozempic works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. It stimulates insulin release when blood sugar levels are high and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Additionally, it slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach, helping to control appetite and promote a feeling of fullness. This combination of effects can aid in weight loss and improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
All medications carry a risk of potential side effects. Ozempic’s side effects are typically mild and often improve within the first few weeks of treatment. When they occur, it’s usually when doses are increased, then tend to improve once a steady dose is reached. Some of the most common side effects include:
People lost an average of 14.9% (up to 20%) bodyweight in a 68-week clinical study of Wegovy® (semaglutide).
People lost an average of over 20% bodyweight in a 72-week clinical trial study of tirzepatide*
Ozempic® is a brand-name version of the generic medication semaglutide. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs are FDA-approved for managing certain symptoms and risks associated with type 2 diabetes.

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimicsthe GLP-1 hormone produced in your gut. When GLP-1 binds to GLP-1 receptors, ittells your pancreas to release insulin whenever your blood sugar levels get toohigh, which brings your bloodsugar back down (Shah, 2014; Phillips,2022). In type 2 diabetes, your body develops insulin resistance, which allows sugar to build up in the blood.Antidiabetes medications like Ozempic encourage the release of more insulin tokeep blood glucose levels in check (Thota, 2022).
In addition to stimulating insulin release, Ozempic reduces the amount of sugar released from your liver. Ozempic also slows down the digestion process, so it takes longer for your stomach to empty fully, a process known as gastric emptying. This helps prevent your blood sugar from spiking. At the same time, it keeps you feeling full for longer, which can lead you to eat less and lose weight (Shah, 2014; Phillips, 2022).
Because GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic have led to weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes, researchers have looked into whether they can help treat obesity and lower some of the cardiovascular risks associated with obesity. Indeed, long-term GLP-1 medication usage seems to lower blood pressure and cholesterol (Phillips, 2022). Some adults with obesity may be prescribed Ozempic off-label for weight management. Combined with diet and exercise, Ozempic can help people with obesity lose weight faster (O’Neil, 2018; Wilding, 2021).
Ozempic is not FDA-approved for weight loss. Good Life-affiliated healthcare professionals have the discretion to prescribe a medication off-label if they believe it is an appropriate course of treatment for a particular patient.
Ozempic dosing starts out low, then gradually increases over the first few months until a steady dose is reached. If prescribed, your Good Life-affiliated provider will work with you to find the schedule and dosing that’s right for you. As an example, the lowest dose of Ozempic is 0.25 mg once a week and the maximum dose is 2.0 mg once a week.
All medications carry a risk of potential side effects. Ozempic’s side effects are typically mild and often improve within the first few weeks of treatment. When they occur, it’s usually when doses are increased, then tend to improve once a steady dose is reached. Some of the most common side effects include:
More severe side effects are rarer but possible. Serious side effects include:
