Overview
Ozempic 0.5 mg is a prescription injectable medicine containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 analogue used in the management of type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
Key Benefits
Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone released after eating, helping the body lower blood sugar only when levels are too high. It supports insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar rises, reduces the release of glucagon, and slows stomach emptying, which can help manage appetite. In adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, it has also been shown to help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke.
