Are you struggling to lose weight and looking for an effective solution? At our primary care practice in Pembroke Pines, Florida, we offer a range of medical weight loss services, including the use of Ozempic®, a medication that's gaining popularity for its effectiveness in helping people shed extra pounds. Here is a guide to understanding Ozempic for weight loss.



But what is Ozempic®?

Ozempic® is a medication that was initially developed to help manage type 2 diabetes. However, doctors discovered that it also has a powerful side effect—weight loss. The active ingredient in Ozempic®, called semaglutide, works by mimicking a hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar and appetite. By doing so, it helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing your cravings and making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.


How Does Ozempic® Work for Weight Loss?

Ozempic® works in a few key ways to help with weight loss:

  1. Appetite Control: It slows down how fast your stomach empties, making you feel full sooner and for a longer period. This helps you eat less overall.

  2. Reduced Cravings: Ozempic® can lower the levels of hunger hormones in your body, making those pesky cravings for unhealthy snacks less intense.

  3. Better Blood Sugar Levels: By keeping your blood sugar levels stable, Ozempic® helps prevent the spikes and crashes that can lead to overeating.

Is Ozempic Right for You?

Ozempic® is typically prescribed for adults with a body mass index (BMI) over 27 who also have weight-related health issues or for those with a BMI over 30. However, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if it's the right fit for you.
