Mechanism of Action:
Ozempic works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. By mimicking the action of the incretin hormone GLP-1, Ozempic enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying. This triad of actions contributes comprehensively to improved glycemic control as it helps lower glucose production in the liver and diminish appetite, thus fostering weight loss.
Side Effects:
Common and mild to moderate side effects reported with Ozempic usage may include:
- Gastrointestinal Effects: Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and constipation are the most commonly observed.
- Decreased Appetite: Often a correlation with the weight loss benefits seen in treatments.
- Injection Site Reactions: Possible mild pain or irritation.
