Benefits of Ozempic for Medical Weight Loss in Omaha, NE

While the brand name of Ozempic is a medication that is at this point only approved for those with type 2 diabetes, the medication that makes up Ozempic is known under a different brand name which has been approved as a weight loss medication to be used as part of medical weight loss treatments. The medication that is the primary component of Ozempic is called Semaglutide, also the main ingredient in Wegovy, and has been approved by the FDA for medical weight loss. During the clinical trials of Semaglutide for type 2 diabetes, physicians quickly noticed the efficacy of the medication for weight loss, which is why they quickly created a medication of the same ingredient for that purpose.

Ozempic can start to work fairly shortly after the treatment has commenced, but it is very common for patients to be started with a pretty low dose to make sure that their bodies don’t have a negative reaction to the medication, which means that until the dosage is increased, it may be difficult to experience very noticeable results. It is common for patients to start to notice a few little changes within the first few weeks of the treatment, and then more noticeable results become prevalent around 8 to 12 weeks after the treatment has started. Everyone will experience different results along a different timeline, it just depends on how well your body responds to the medication (if you’re able to increase the dosage faster than others) and what the other components of the medical weight loss program look like. To see results as soon as possible, patients must follow all provided directives from their physician including their diet and exercise routines.

The average amount of weight that patients will lose while taking Semaglutide for weight loss is typically somewhere between 5% to 15% of their starting body weight. However, it is possible to lose quite a bit more weight for those who opt for longer-term treatment and whose bodies respond well to the medication. The average number includes everyone who is on the medication briefly or who did not also continue a calorie-deficient diet and regular exercise. The total amount of weight you lose depends on your weight loss goals and how much excess weight you have to lose from the beginning. Those who wish to lose more weight can simply stay on the medication until they have reached their goal weight as long as they continue to be medically supervised to ensure their health and safety a physician throughout the process.

Ozempic consists of a medication called Semaglutide, which has proven to have multiple benefits to support weight loss, making it a safe and effective weight loss medication. It supports weight loss in several ways, the most impactful way being that it causes the digestive process to slow down, which keeps food going through the digestive tract and stomach at a much slower rate than normal. This signals to the brain that the body is fuller for longer, making maintaining a caloric deficit much easier which is vital in most weight loss programs.

Additionally, Semaglutide helps to support fat oxidization in the excess stored fat, making it easier for the body to process as energy, so once the body has used all of the consumed calories to stay energized for workouts and getting through the day, it turns to that excess stored fat and breaks it down for energy, which lessens the amount of excess fat that is left as stored in the body.
