Ozempic consists of a compound, semaglutide, which is intended for people with type 2 diabetes and is used for long-term weight management. However, it is used by more people who just want to lose five to 10 pounds quickly. Patients using Wegovy have been shown to reduce body weight by 15%.
The drug, however, can be expensive because it is not covered by insurance in the US, meaning it can cost over $1,300 a month. Ozempic was first approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at the lowest dose of 1 milligram, however, the 2.4 milligram dose has shown more promising results.
Previous research from the University of Alabama found that overweight and obese research participants injected with Ozempic weekly lost 37 pounds.

“The risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, bloating and constipation is a warning to patients,” Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital, told The Post.
