Ozempic (semaglutide) is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which work by stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Ozempic is typically used in combination with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It can also be used as an adjunct to other diabetes medications, such as metformin or sulfonylureas. Ozempic is part of a growing market of Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders Drugs, which includes medications used to treat a variety of conditions, such as obesity, thyroid disorders, and polycystic ovary syndrome. These drugs are used to help regulate hormones and metabolism, and can be used to improve overall health and quality of life.
