Weight loss with Ozempic® can differ for each individual due to varying responses to the medication and lifestyle factors. Clinical studies indicate that, on average, individuals using Ozempic® may lose up to 15% of their initial body weight over several months to a year.

To maximize weight loss, it's important to combine Ozempic® with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and a tailored approach to your health journey.

Not at all! Our aim is to simplify and streamline this process for you. Utilizing our telehealth platform, you gain access to a network of medical professionals who can assess your individual requirements using your health data. If deemed suitable, they can then provide treatment, all at no cost to you.

Ozempic® (semaglutide) is administered as a subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected just under the skin. Here is a general guide on how to take Ozempic®:

• Dosage: Typically prescribed as a once-weekly injection.
• Adjustments: Your healthcare provider will recommend the starting dose and may adjust it over time based on your response.
  

Injection Site

• Locations: Common sites include the abdomen (avoiding the area around the navel), thigh, or upper arm.
• Rotation: Rotate injection sites to reduce the risk of skin irritation or discomfort.

Preparation

• Instructions: Read and follow the instructions provided with Ozempic® for preparing the injection pen, attaching the needle, and selecting the correct dose.

Injection Process

• Cleaning: Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and let it air dry.
• Injection: Pinch the skin gently, insert the needle at a 90-degree angle, and press the injection button to administer the dose. Release the pinched skin and withdraw the needle gently.

Disposal

Ozempic®, when used as directed by a healthcare provider, is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, it's important to understand key safety information for its safe and effective use:

• Avoid Ozempic® if you are allergic to semaglutide or any of its components.

Pancreatitis:

• Be cautious of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when using Ozempic® with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. Monitor your blood glucose regularly.

Diabetic Retinopathy:

• Regular eye examinations are recommended for individuals with a history of diabetic retinopathy as Ozempic® may increase the risk of further complications.

Kidney Problems:

Allergic Reactions:

• Watch for signs of allergic reactions such as itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any allergic symptoms.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
