Weight loss can feel overwhelming when diets and exercise plans haven’t delivered the results you want. For many, Ozempic® — a prescription GLP-1 medication — offers a powerful solution. But like any treatment, it’s not one-size-fits-all.

At Refills, we believe every patient deserves clear, straightforward guidance before starting their journey. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering Ozempic for weight loss.

What Is Ozempic?

Ozempic (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. By mimicking a natural gut hormone, Ozempic helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and most importantly — reduce appetite.

For patients without diabetes, Ozempic has become a highly effective tool for weight management, often leading to significant and sustained weight loss.

How Ozempic Supports Weight Loss

Patients taking Ozempic often report:

• Feeling satisfied with smaller meals.
• Fewer cravings for high-calorie, sugary foods.
• More consistent energy throughout the day.
• Steady, sustainable weight loss over time.

Unlike fad diets or short-term fixes, Ozempic helps patients build a new, healthier relationship with food.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ozempic?

Ozempic may be right for you if you:

• Have a BMI in the overweight or obese range.
• Struggle with appetite control or emotional eating.
• Haven’t achieved results with diet and exercise alone.
• Want a medically supervised option for weight loss.

Your provider will review your health history to ensure Ozempic is safe and appropriate. Patients with certain conditions — like a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or pancreatitis — may not be good candidates.

What to Expect in the First Few Months

The first weeks on Ozempic are often about finding the right dosage and getting used to changes in appetite. Many patients experience:

• Reduced hunger within the first few weeks.
• Gradual, noticeable weight loss by the one- to two-month mark.
• Occasional side effects, like mild nausea or digestive changes, that usually improve with time.

At Refills, our licensed providers guide patients through every stage, adjusting as needed for comfort and effectiveness.
