Ozempic is a brand name for a new medication, also called semaglutide, that is a new and important way to treat type 2 diabetes, a health condition where the body can't use sugar properly. Taken as a shot once a week, it belongs to a type of medication that acts like a natural hormone in the body. This medication helps the body make more insulin, stopping the body from making another hormone that raises sugar, and slowing down how fast food leaves the stomach. It helps the body use insulin better and move sugar into cells for energy, which helps keep blood sugar in a healthy range for grown-ups with this health condition.
Being easy to take as directed and working very well makes it a good addition to all the other medications used to treat diabetes. This can help with better blood sugar management and lower the chance of getting other health problems from diabetes.
