Ozempic is a highly effective injectable medical weight-loss medication. At Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, we use Ozempic for Phoenix patients looking to lose weight effectively without any need for surgery. Ozempic is paired with changes in diet and exercise for optimal results. This treatment process helps patients lose 10% to 18% of their body weight.
How Does Ozempic Work?
It can be very challenging to lose weight and keep it off with just dieting and regular exercise. Ozempic makes it possible to achieve these goals without the struggle.
Ozempic is an FDA-approved semaglutide injectable medication. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. It works similarly to the natural GLP-1 in the body, which causes disruption of the hypothalamus and other hunger centers in the brain. This results in a reduction in hunger, appetite, and cravings. In addition, it slows down the stomach’s emptying rate, prolonging feelings of fullness.

- A family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
- A history of pancreatitis
Patients are not eligible for Ozempic if they are:
