Ozempic is an injectable medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps the body to reduce high blood sugar levels. By controlling blood sugar levels it reduces the risk of diabetic complications like heart disease and heart attacks.
It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which is known as a GLP-1 analogue. It 's a weekly injection and the dose is gradually increased over 4 - 8 weeks until a maintenance dose is reached.
Examining how Ozempic works for weight loss leads us to the active ingredient, semaglutide. It is very similar to a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1. This hormone plays an important role in appetite control and regulation. By mimicking this hormone, semaglutide helps to regulate your appetite and make you feel fuller and less hungry. This can lead to people eating less and losing weight. The Ozempic dosage for weight loss is typically titrated up to a maximum dose of 2mg weekly, as tolerated by each individual patient. A month should be taken at each strength, to make sure your body adjusts well to the medication.
If you are already taking Ozempic for weight loss, you can make a direct dosage switch to Wegovy. For example, if you are taking 1mg of Ozempic, you can instead order Wegovy 1mg. If you are taking 2mg of Ozempic, you can move up to the 2.4mg Wegovy dose. Just complete our online assessment, and provide our prescribers with all information of your Ozempic history. Our GPs can then help you switch over to Wegovy safely. As it's the same drug, you shouldn't notice any new side effects, unless you are increasing your dose.
You can buy Ozempic for weight loss online, known as Wegovy in the UK, from Simple Online Pharmacy. Ozempic itself is not licensed for use in the UK for weight loss, but is instead licensed for use for Diabetes. Both Ozempic and Wegovy contain the active ingredient Semaglutide, but Wegovy is formulated specifically for weight loss, and so is more effective.
While Ozempic only titrates to 2mg of Semaglutide, it’s sister brand, Wegovy, is licensed to be used for weight loss all the way to 2.4mg. This results in more meaningful weight loss than Ozempic. Wegovy was released in mid-2023, and is exactly the same active ingredient as Ozempic. It is licensed for weight loss, and is easier to administer the recommended dosages for maximum benefit.
Saxenda is another drug from this class of medicines, and also is a GLP-1 agonist. All three drugs, contain similar active ingredients and are injected under the skin (subcutaneously) daily to help suppress appetite.
The latest and most effective of the class of drugs is Mounjaro, which helps patients achieve an average of around 20% body weight loss, vs ~14% with Ozempic.
