- Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for the medication semaglutide, used to treat type 2 diabetes and belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- Semaglutide stimulates the release of insulin, slows down food digestion, and can help curb appetite, causing a person to eat less and lose weight.
- The most common side effects are gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation. People with a history of thyroid issues or pancreatic cancer should avoid it.
- Ozempic and similar drugs have been scrutinized in phase 3 programs and cardiovascular outcomes trials due to a potential increased risk of pancreatic and thyroid cancer.
- Ozempic is available by prescription only, and the cost ranges from $925-$1080 per month.
- Experts are concerned about the potential risk of eating disorders and the drug shortage due to its popularity.
- Drinking alcohol while taking Ozempic, and it is important to talk to a medical provider before considering alcohol use.
- Studies have shown sustained weight loss benefits with Ozempic, resulting in greater reductions in waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, and improved levels of glycated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, C-reactive protein, and fasting lipid levels after 68 weeks.
- One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss.
