Ozempic semaglutide injection 0.5mg, 1mg, or 2mg

Ozempic works in several ways to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. The drug also lowers heart-related risks in people with both diabetes and heart disease.

The drug does this by:

• Increasing the amount of insulin your body makes after a meal so that your blood sugar levels won’t get too high. Insulin is a hormone that lowers your blood sugar levels.
• Slowing the movement of food through your stomach to prevent a big increase in your blood sugar levels.
• Lowering the amount of sugar released into your bloodstream.

Your doctor or a pharmacist can provide details about how Ozempic works in the body.
