With over 15 years of experience providing personalized care, our Fort Lauderdale clinic is your trusted partner for Ozempic treatment and weight management support.
Ozempic (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduce body weight. Originally developed to improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has also demonstrated significant weight loss benefits, making it popular for off-label use in weight management. Unlike traditional weight loss medications, Ozempic works by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, leading to decreased calorie intake and sustained weight loss.
Ozempic belongs to the same class as Wegovy, another GLP-1 medication used for weight loss, though there are differences in dosage and specific indications.
Ozempic works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which regulates hunger and blood sugar levels. This hormone reduces appetite, slows down stomach emptying, and signals satiety to the brain, making you feel full with smaller amounts of food. This effect on appetite helps patients achieve calorie reduction without feeling deprived, leading to steady and effective weight loss.
