Ozempic® Frequently Asked Questions

While taking Ozempic®, some Northern New Jersey patients begin to see results within 8 weeks, but most patients begin to see results within 12 weeks. Clinical studies have shown that participants taking a weekly dose of Ozempic® had an average reduction of 5 – 10% in body weight.

Ozempic® is not always effective for everyone, but when successful, it can potentially reduce up to 15% of body weight. During clinical trials, half of participants using Ozempic® achieved a 15% reduction in weight, while nearly a third of participants reported achieving a 20% reduction. In contrast, participants who implemented lifestyle changes without taking Ozempic® only achieved an average of 2.4% reduction in weight.

Ozempic® is safe and effective when used as directed. However, Ozempic® should not be taken if you or your family has a history of certain thyroid cancers. Additionally, Ozempic® is not recommended for people with type-1 diabetes, history of pancreatitis, or are currently taking other blood sugar medications.

Ozempic® will be prescribed by weight loss experts at Healthy Aging Weight Loss Centers as a weekly subcutaneous injection that can be done at home.

Yes. It is believed that the effectiveness of Ozempic® is contributed to its ability to reduce appetite as a GLP-1 mimicking drug. However, not all Ozempic® users experience decreased appetite.

While taking Ozempic®, no food should be considered off limits. Consuming alcohol while on Ozempic® can irritate the stomach and impact blood sugar levels–it is recommended to limit or eliminate alcohol while using Ozempic®.

What Are Peptides?

As we grow older, the natural production of essential amino acids diminishes in our bodies. These amino acids are responsible for generating peptides which are crucial to many bodily functions.

Peptides modify the body’s responses to diet and exercise, accelerate the healing process, and strengthen immunity. Additionally, some peptides stimulate the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, which is influential in boosting strength, energy levels, skin elasticity, hair growth and much of the aging process.

Peptides provide detailed, targeted directives to cells and molecules, making them a better option than many traditional medications and supplements. Because of their precision, peptides are reported to cause very few, if any, side effects.

Clinically-Proven Weight Loss Medication

Ozempic® works by mimicing the GLP-1 receptors in the body to lower appetite and blood sugar levels. It is meant for overweight patients, generally with a BMI greater than 27.5. There are 4 large studies that all show that this medication is highly effective to achieve weight loss in people who are overweight. In a large study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Semaglutide (which is the active ingredient in both Ozempic®) led to an average weight loss of about 15% of the body weight in about a year, which is an average total weight loss of about 33.7 lbs.

Ozempic® is self-administered by the patient into the fat tissue by a pen injector on a weekly basis. The medication can be picked up at any pharmacy and it does not have to be administered by a healthcare professional. The injection itself is easy to do, but may cause some minimal pain or discomfort. Some of our patients prefer if a family member helps with the injection.

The dose depends on each person’s tolerance to the medication, but generally each month the medication dose will be increased, until a maintenance dose is achieved.

This medication is meant to aid traditional weight-loss efforts like dieting and exercise and should be taken in addition to a calorie-deficit diet and regular exercising.
