The medication is used to treat patients with type-2 diabetes and manage their blood sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Ozempic is not insulin. In fact, the drug helps your pancreas produce more insulin when your blood sugar is high. &#8220;Unlike insulin, Ozempic rarely causes low blood sugar,&#8221; says Lydia Alexander, M.D., of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Besides regulating glucose levels in the body, the\u00a0<strong>drug also helps in weight loss, reduces the risk of hypoglycemia, and improves heart health and kidney function<\/strong>. According to reports, it makes people feel full for longer while also decreasing appetite and food cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Although Ozempic is not a weight-reduction medication, evidence suggests that those who use it may lose a little weight while on it. In reality, the active ingredient in Ozempic, semaglutide, is FDA-approved at greater doses for the treatment of obesity and other weight-related medical conditions under the brand name Wegovy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>In 2022, the demand for both Ozempic and Wegovy increased dramatically. Because of the Wegovy shortage, coupled with Ozempic\u2019s weight loss effects going viral on social media, people without type 2 diabetes have begun using Ozempic off-label for weight loss. According to The Guardian, the off-label use of Ozempic has resulted in a worldwide shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"\n>Experts say Ozempic is a safe medication, but not for everyone. Before taking the drug, speak with a medical practitioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/sci-tech\/science\/explained-what-is-ozempic-why-is-it-trending-on-tiktok\/article66326653.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TH<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/health\/body\/ozempic-for-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Forbes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it an easy way to lose weight?
