Customer question:
What is the main active ingredient of Ozempic, and why is it used? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The main active ingredient of Ozempic is semaglutide.
The drug helps the body reduce blood sugar levels only when blood sugar is too high and can help prevent heart disease.
Your doctor may prescribe Ozempic if you do not have controlled blood sugar despite following a diet or being physically active and cannot take metformin (another medicine for the treatment of diabetes).
Your doctor may also prescribe Ozempic along with other diabetes medications if these medications are not enough to control your blood sugar levels. Medicinal substances that can be used with semaglutide are, for example, metformin, thiazolidinediones, sulfonylureas, or insulin.
It is important to emphasize that you continue to follow your diet and exercise plan as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
Before using any medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
