Ozempic, containing semaglutide, is designed to treat type 2 diabetes, but it can lead to weight loss as a side effect. Semaglutide mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. This action increases feelings of fullness, slows down stomach emptying, and reduces overall appetite, leading to decreased calorie consumption. While not its primary function, this impact on appetite and eating behaviors can contribute to weight loss in individuals taking Ozempic.
