How Ozempic Works (Mechanism of Action)

Ozempic mimics the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a critical role in blood sugar regulation.

Ozempic helps by:

• Increasing glucose-dependent insulin secretion
• Reducing glucagon release
• Slowing gastric emptying
• Decreasing appetite and caloric intake

This multi-pathway approach leads to improved blood sugar control and sustainable weight loss in many patients.
