Mechanism of Action
Ozempic is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that has been proven to help with weight loss in addition to its primary use in managing type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the action of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, slows down the emptying of the stomach, and reduces appetite.
When incorporated into a comprehensive weight loss plan – Ozempic can be an effective tool for individuals struggling with obesity or overweight who have not had success with other methods. It is important to note that Ozempic is should be used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular physical activity, to achieve optimal results.

Ideal candidates are adults who are overweight (BMI ≥ 27) or obese (BMI ≥ 30) and have not achieved sufficient results with diet and exercise alone. Individuals with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol may also benefit. A consultation with Dr. Kojian and his team helps determine eligibility based on a comprehensive medical evaluation.
Many patients begin to notice weight loss within the first 4–8 weeks of treatment, especially when combined with dietary improvements and increased physical activity. However, results vary based on individual adherence to the complete program and other health factors. Long-term weight loss typically becomes more apparent after 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
Like all medications, Ozempic can cause side effects. The most common include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. These symptoms often decrease over time as your body adjusts. Dr. Kojian and his team carefully monitor each patient and adjust dosages as needed to minimize side effects while maximizing benefits.
