So anyone taking <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ozempic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should expect that they\u2019ll need to pay for it longer than just one or two months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen patients lose anywhere from 5\u201315% or even more of their body weight with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">semaglutide<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, particularly when combined with healthy lifestyle changes,\u201d Dr. Warren says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany patients also report improved energy, reduced cravings, and better <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood sugar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> control.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ozempic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s main effect on the body is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood sugar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reduction. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novonordisk-us.com\/media\/news-archive\/news-details.html?id=65202\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clinical trials showed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that a 1 mg dose can lower A1C by 1.9% and a 2 mg dose lowers it by 2.2%.
