Ozempic injections work by suppressing your appetite. In the long term, this helps to reduce body weight and fatty food cravings when used with a healthy diet and exercise regime.

Ozempic affects a hormone called GLP-1. This hormone helps to control blood glucose levels and how much you want to eat.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 analogue and belongs to the same group as Liraglutide (Saxenda). It increases GLP-1 levels. Doing so causes your stomach to empty and digest food more slowly after eating. This reduces your appetite and leaves you feeling fuller for longer.

It also helps with blood sugar management in two key ways:

• promotes insulin production from the pancreas when your blood sugar levels are too high
• reduces excess sugar (glucose) from the liver when it is not needed

This is why it is primarily used for type 2 diabetes management.

In 2021, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine tested how well it can help with obesity.

They monitored the progress of 1961 adults for 68 weeks. Half took a placebo, an inactive drug believed to be the weight-loss drug, and the other half took Semaglutide.

They found that those who took the Semaglutide had a 14.9% loss in body weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, compared to those who took the placebo and lost 2.4% of their body weight. This is a significant difference and success.
