What is Ozempic?
Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, is a popular drug used to combat obesity and treat type-2 diabetes. Doctors say that it can also help with weight loss. Research suggests that people can lose up to five pounds per month with this drug, but the same depends on several factors such as initial weight, diet, workout, dosage and comorbidities if any. According to a study, people who took the drug for four years can lose approximately 10% if their body weight and also sustain the weight loss. But stopping the drug can often lead to regaining the lost weight.
