    Overview

    Ozempic is a medication used to help improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by increasing insulin secretion and blocking glucagon secretion. In 2025, Ozempic was also approved by the FDA to help reduce the risk of kidney disease worsening in certain patients.

    What Is Ozempic Used For?

    Ozempic belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It turns on the GLP-1 receptor which increases insulin secretion and blocks glucagon secretion. Ozempic may also slow down digestion and lengthen the sensation of feeling full.
