Approved by the FDA in 2017, semaglutide, popularly referred to as Ozempic or Wegovy, is a weekly injection for adults with type 2 diabetes. However, the newest weight loss trend has millions turning towards Ozempic as well. Why? Well, one of the most common side effects of these treatments is, you guessed it, weight loss. Here, our team from Cryo Fit Body will take you through the ins and outs of this popular treatment and provide the basics of what you need to know.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone helps regulate blood sugar levels by prompting the pancreas to release insulin when blood sugar is high. It also signals the brain that you’re full, reducing appetite. Additionally, Ozempic slows the rate at which food moves through the stomach, which helps manage blood sugar levels and contributes to weight loss.
Are semaglutide treatments safe for everyone?
Semaglutide treatments can be effective for many people, but they are not safe or appropriate for everyone. Before starting semaglutide (the active ingredient in these treatments), it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider who will consider individual health conditions and risks.
Semaglutide may not be suitable for people with:
- A history of thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (MEN2)
- Severe gastrointestinal issues or digestive tract conditions
- Pancreatitis or a history of this condition
- Kidney problems or reduced kidney function
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Serious side effects, though rare, can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, and kidney injury.
