Ozempic (semaglutide) is a medication originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes. However, it has also been found to be effective in promoting weight loss. It works by mimicking the action of a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. Ozempic helps reduce food intake and increases feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss.

No, insurance is not required. We can guide you to low cost, effective generic medications in the event your insurance does not cover the drug you want.

Note that the FDA has black-box warnings for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide. In rodents, all of these medications have been associated with an increased risk of thyroid C-cell tumors including medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Do not use any of these medications if you have a personal or family history of MTC or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), or an endocrine tumor syndrome that can involve the adrenal, parathyroid gland and thyroid glands.
