How does Ozempic (semaglutide) work? Buy Ozempic pen

Ozempic reduces your appetite by slowing down digestion, which makes you feel full for longer. In the long term, this helps reduce body weight and cravings for fatty foods when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Ozempic does this by targeting a specific hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). GLP-1 is a natural hormone found in the body that regulates blood sugar and, consequently, your appetite.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 analogue (along with Saxenda), which means it increases GLP-1 levels. By increasing GLP-1 levels, it helps with blood sugar management in two ways:

Promotes insulin production by the pancreas when your blood sugar level is too high;
reduces excess sugar (glucose) from the liver when it is not needed.

For this reason, it is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. However, this mechanism also causes your stomach to empty and digest more slowly after eating, making you feel full for longer.

What are the benefits of taking it?

The main advantage of semaglutide is that its efficacy has been clinically proven. A clinical study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2021 investigated the effectiveness of semaglutide in the treatment of obesity.

They monitored the progress of 1,961 adults with a BMI over 30 (or over 27 in the case of weight-related illness) for 68 weeks. Half took a placebo, an inactive drug believed to be the weight-loss medication, and the other half took semaglutide.

They found that those taking semaglutide, in combination with a healthy diet and physical exercise, experienced a 14.9% loss of body weight, compared to those taking the placebo, who lost 2.4%. That’s a significant difference and a success.

While currently an off-label treatment, it was recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) in the United Kingdom in February 2022 for the treatment of obesity. This means that semaglutide (under the brand name Wegovy) will soon be licensed and will no longer need to be prescribed off-label.

What dosage should I take? Buy Ozempic pen

Semaglutide (Ozempic) is available in 3 different dosages: 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg. The dosages can be distinguished by the color label on the pen.

0.25 mg – pen with grey label
0.5 mg – pen with red label
1 mg – pen with blue label

For weight loss, you will initially be prescribed a dose of 0.25 mg. Once this dose has been stable for 4 weeks, it can be increased to 0.5 mg. The 1 mg dose can then be prescribed after you have remained stable on the 0.5 mg dose for 4 weeks. Not everyone needs the 1 mg dose; some may only require a maintenance dose of 0.5 mg.

How do I administer Ozempic? Buy an Ozempic pen

Semaglutide should be administered once a week, preferably on the same day and at the same time each week. However, if you need to change the day you take it, you can do so as long as at least two days have passed since your last dose. Buy Ozempic pen

You should inject semaglutide into your thighs, lower abdomen, or upper arms. Brief instructions for injection are as follows:

Prepare the pen and needle – check the pen’s name and label, verify the solution in the pen is clear and not cloudy, and take a new needle.
Insert the new needle – by tearing off the paper tab, press the needle onto the pen and turn it firmly, remove the outer cap and hold it to the side, and remove and discard the inner needle cap.
Check the flow – turn the dose adjustment ring until the dose indicator shows the flow control symbol, hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards, and press and hold the dose button until the dose indicator returns to 0. A drop of solution should be visible at the needle tip.
Select the dose – continue turning the dose indicator until the dose indicator stops and displays 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, or 1 mg, depending on the required dose. Buy the Ozempic pen.
Inject the dose – insert the needle into your skin and press and hold the dose button until 0 is displayed; you may hear or feel a click. Leave the needle in and count slowly to 6 before removing it to ensure you receive the full dose.
