It is a diabetes medication that works by reducing appetite rather than directly promoting fat loss. However, be cautious—this is a short-lived trend with significant side effects.
Next Steps
Better to maintain calorie deficit and target on burning fat rather than decreasing appetite which eventually leads to deficiencies in the body.

Healthy evening,
Ozempic ( semaglutide) is a medication that’s primarily used to type -2 diabetes, but it has also been shown to help with weight loss , and in cases , it’s prescribed off - label for this purpose.
When used for weight loss , it’s work by affecting area of the brain that control appetite, helping people eat less and feel fuller for longer .
It’s generally considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professionals, but like any medication, it comes potential risk and side effects.
Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting , diarrhoea and stomach discomfort.
More serious risk can include pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, kidney problems and thyroid tumour, although these are rare .
If you are considering Ozempic for weight loss, it’s important to discuss doctor to determine it’s appropriate for you, consider health history and any other medications if you are taking.
