How Ozempic® Works
Appetite Regulation
Ozempic® acts on the appetite centers in the brain, reducing hunger and promoting a feeling of satiety. This helps individuals consume fewer calories and adhere to a healthier diet.
Slow Gastric Emptying
Ozempic® helps slow down the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, which increases the feeling of fullness after a meal and reduces overall food intake.
Enhanced Insulin Secretion
Ozempic® stimulates the release of insulin in response to high blood sugar levels, which helps lower and regulate blood sugar.
