Ozempic is a prescription medication used for the management of type-2 diabetes in adult patients. It serves mainly to manage blood sugar, though its ability to help regulate appetite has shown promise in the field of weight management as well.

The active ingredient of this medication is semaglutide, which is used in several other types of medications as well. It works by mimicking a naturally-occurring hormone (generally referred to as GLP-1).

GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1, is one of the hormones responsible for stimulating insulin production. By mimicking this hormone, semaglutide can trick your body into creating more insulin than it generally would, resulting in lower blood sugar levels.

The primary use is in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Ozempic plays a valuable role in lowering and controlling blood sugar levels, which is essential in the management of diabetes.

This medication has also shown some promise in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease. In certain patients, semaglutide may reduce the risk of major heart-related events.
While not an approved use for this particular type of semaglutide medication, Ozempic may also sometimes be used for weight loss. For the same reasons that it serves to help treat diabetes, Ozempic helps with appetite suppression and controlling blood sugar levels in the chronically obese.

Semaglutide (Ozempic’s active ingredient) works as a GLP-1 receptor agonist and mimics naturally occurring gut hormones to accomplish several things.

It helps to stimulate insulin production, which plays a valuable role in controlling high blood sugar. It also slows down digestion and reduces appetite, which plays a significant role in the control of blood sugar.

Finally, this medication prevents the liver from producing too much glucose, an essential part of controlling blood sugar.

Administering Ozempic

1. Step 1: Take off the clear outer lid; keep it for later use.
2. Step 2: Remove and throw away the colored inner cap.
3. Step 3 (First use only): Prime the pen by turning the dosing dial to the first line, then pointing the needle up and pushing the plunger until a drop of medication comes out. If nothing happens, repeat this process. If nothing comes out after repeating the process, change the needle. The dial should return to zero with successful priming.
4. Step 4: Dial in your dose by turning the dial till the appropriate dose displays in the dose window.
5. Step 5: Pick an injection spot, which may be in the back of your upper arm, your thigh, or your abdomen (2 inches from your belly button). Remember to rotate injection spots and try to avoid irritated or broken skin.
6. Step 6: Clean the chosen injection spot with an alcohol swab and let it dry naturally.
7. Step 7: Hold the pen straight up at a 90-degree angle and push the needle all the way in.
8. Step 8: Push the plunger and hold it in for 6 seconds after the dial reaches zero.
9. Step 9: Remove and dispose of the needle by putting the cap back on the needle and twisting the cap clockwise to remove the needle. Throw the used needle and cap in a Sharps container for disposal.
10. Step 10: Put the lid back on the pen and store it as directed.

Dosing Schedule

Ozempic should be taken once weekly and on the same day each week.

However, if you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible within five days of the missed dose. If more than five days pass after missing a dose, wait till the next dose instead.

Ozempic Storage Instructions

Before using a new Ozempic pen for the first time, store it in the refrigerator. Do not place the pens in the back of the refrigerator, where they may freeze.

After the first use, you may store the pens at room temperature or continue to keep them in the refrigerator.

When you buy Ozempic online from Canada, ensure that you order the correct dose. You can choose from 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, or 2mg doses.

Typically, your primary care physician will start you at a 0.25mg dose for four weeks. They will then elevate your dose to 0.5mg for a minimum of four weeks. After this time, they may reassess and decide to increase your dose again.

It is critical that you use only the prescribed dose. There are no benefits to using a larger dose than you have a prescription for and doing so may exacerbate side effects or cause new side effects.

As with any medication, there is some vital safety information of which you should be aware.

• It has been linked to thyroid C-cell tumors like medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). If you have a family history of MTC or the related Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), you should never use this medication.
• Type-1 diabetes patients shouldn’t use this drug.
• Ozempic may worsen pre-existing conditions like kidney disease and diabetic retinopathy. If you have these conditions or a GLP-1 agonist allergy, you shouldn’t take this medication. Discuss your full medical history with your doctor.
• Never share an Ozempic pen with another person, as you may transmit infections to one another.
