There is more to this than just the weight loss. While weight loss is a common and significant side effect of Ozempic due to its appetite-reducing and stomach-emptying effects, Ozempic is not FDA-approved as a weight-loss drug. The same active ingredient, semaglutide, is approved for chronic weight management under the brand name Wegovy®, which is prescribed at higher doses for individuals with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition. Using Ozempic solely for weight loss is considered “off-label” and may not be covered by insurance.

Additionally, with the huge increase in people using the drug for this they have been buying so much of it that it is very difficult for diabetics to get it to use as a supplement and short term insulin to get the initial food intake covered so as not to get extreme spikes. I had to go to another product, my third now, to get the need covered and I’m not going to say what it is for fear someone will start getting their doctors to give it to them and I will not be able to get it due to short supplies, again.

It was prescribed to me for congestive heart failure with normal ejection fraction
It works
Zero complaints

You still need discipline though

You can still overeat on ozempic or zepbound

Just slower maybe
