Medical review completed: February 2025
Walk into any clinic break room right now, and you'll hear the same conversation: "My patient asked about Ozempic again today."
As an internal medicine physician, I've watched this medication transform from a diabetes treatment into a cultural phenomenon.
Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and improves blood sugar control.
Clinical trials show average weight loss of about 15% of body weight over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes.
Ozempic is a powerful medical tool—not magic. It works best when combined with proper diet, exercise, and medical supervision.
