How Does It Work?
Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1, which is released after eating. It signals to the brain that you are full, slows digestion, and reduces appetite significantly. It also helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar rises, keeping glucose levels more stable.
What It's Used For
- Managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
- Significant weight loss and appetite suppression
- Reducing the risk of cardiovascular events in at-risk individuals
What to Expect
Most people notice a clear drop in appetite within the first few weeks of use. Weight loss tends to build gradually, with meaningful results typically visible after 8–12 weeks. Blood sugar levels usually become more consistent and easier to manage fairly quickly after starting.
Possible Side Effects
- Nausea, especially during the first few weeks
- Vomiting or diarrhoea
- Reduced appetite leading to low energy if diet is not managed properly
Cycle & Dosage Notes
Treatment typically starts at 0.25mg per week for the first four weeks to allow the body to adjust. The dose is then increased to 0.5mg, and up to 1mg per week depending on tolerance and response. Ozempic is not a short-term cycle compound — it is intended for ongoing use under medical supervision, and there is no PCT requirement.
Storage
Keep at room temperature (15–25°C), away from light and moisture. Leave in the original packaging.
