Ozempic is a GLP-1 agonist and is used for the following:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart-related death in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease

Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, meaning it acts like the natural GLP-1 hormone in the body. This hormone works to lower your blood sugar by causing your pancreas to release more insulin, stopping your liver from releasing more sugar, and slowing down your digestion.

• Ozempic is typically started at 0.25 mg injected under the skin once per week for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, your provider will raise your dose to 0.5 mg injected under the skin once per week
• If needed, your provider might raise your dose even further to 1 mg or 2 mg once per week, after being on a lower dose for at least 4 weeks. The maximum total dose is 2 mg per week
