What is Ozempic?

Ozempic is a medicine designed to treat people with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic is a branded medicine manufactured by pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk Inc.

The active ingredient in Ozempic is semaglutide, which is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It does this by helping the body to produce more insulin when needed and suppressing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
