What is Ozempic®?
Ozempic® is an injectable form of semaglutide, a medication in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. It’s FDA-approved for managing type 2 diabetes and other conditions, but it can also be prescribed off-label for weight loss.
How does Ozempic® work?
Ozempic® mimics a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps manage blood sugar levels and slows down digestion. This means you feel full longer after eating, which can help curb your appetite and potentially lose weight.
Will insurance cover Ozempic®?
Some insurance plans may not cover Ozempic® for weight loss since it is not FDA-approved for that use. Contact your insurance provider to check your coverage and any potential financial implications.
Why Ozempic®?
Convenient weekly dose
Ozempic’s® weekly injection provides a more convenient and less frequent treatment option
Proven Appetite Control
Ozempic® helps reduce hunger by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, making it easier to manage portion sizes and avoid overeating.
Improved Blood Sugar Control
Ozempic® is FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes by helping lower blood sugar levels.
Supports sustainable weight loss and heart health
In addition to helping reduce appetite, Ozempic® can also lower the risk of major cardiovascular events—an FDA-approved benefit.

How a GLP-1 Works
Semaglutide mimics the effects of the GLP-1 hormone. It works by:
- Enhancing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release.
- Reducing appetite.
- Slowing the movement of food through the gut.
- Signaling a feeling of fullness.
As a result, you feel fuller faster, which can ultimately lead to sustained weight loss.
