The most commonly-known factor is appetite suppression. Semaglutide has been shown to reduce hunger, resulting in the person on the medication eating less and therefore dropping the extra pounds they’ve been struggling with on their own. These injections slow down the amount of time it takes for your stomach to empty itself, which allows you to feel fuller longer. Another side effect of the treatment is increased energy levels, which can also contribute to weight loss as many people report being more active while on Ozempic® or other Semaglutide medications. All of these factors combined have resulted in a medication that is fast and effective at helping you to shed some extra weight!How is Ozempic Administered?There are many different types of weight loss treatments, from diet pills to surgery. Ozempic® is administered as an injection into the layer of fat located directly beneath the skin. These injections can conveniently be done at home, but it is important to follow the directions provided by your healthcare provider in order to ensure safety and effectiveness of the product.
