FAQs
Ozempic® is a prescription medication that works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps to:
- Optimize your metabolism
- Regulate your blood sugar levels
- Control your appetite
Originally approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes, Ozempic® is often used “off-label” for weight management. This is safe and legal because semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, has also been FDA-approved for use in weight management under the brand name Wegovy.
You should consult with a doctor trained in weight management, such as Dr. Simmons, if you are interested in learning whether you are a good candidate for Ozempic weight loss injections, but is usually a viable option for a person who:
- Has a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more or a BMI of 27 combined with weight-related health issues like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure;
- Struggles with weight loss despite their efforts with diet and exercise;
- Is looking for a medically supervised option to help manage weight loss, especially if they have other health concerns related to obesity.
You may not be a good candidate for Ozempic if you:
- Have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, as these conditions may increase the risk of thyroid tumors;
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant;
- Are breastfeeding;
- Have a history of pancreatitis;
- Are allergic to any of the ingredients in Ozempic;
- Have severe gastrointestinal issues that might interfere with the medication’s effectiveness.
Yes, Ozempic is considered safe for long-term use for most people, but it is essential to have regular check-ins with Dr. Simmons to monitor your health and progress while using the medication.
Results can vary from person to person, but many individuals start noticing weight loss within the first few months of using Ozempic. It is important to understand that everyone’s body responds differently, so it may take some time to find the right dose your body needs to promote weight loss.
Both Ozempic and Wegovy contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide, but they are approved by the FDA for different uses. Wegovy is approved specifically for weight management and is administered at a higher dose, while Ozempic is primarily used for managing diabetes but is often used off-label for weight loss. Dr. Simmons can guide you on which option is best suited for your individual needs.
The cost of Ozempic in Florida can vary depending on the pharmacy you are using, your insurance coverage, or if you are paying out-of-pocket. Without insurance, the Ozempic Miami price for a one-month supply can range from $800 to $1,000 or more. Medical insurance may cover all or a portion of your medication depending on your copay, deductible, and specific plan. Some patients may be eligible for discounts or financial assistance programs from the manufacturer, which can help lower the cost.
