Context:

Ozempic, a diabetes drug, is increasingly becoming popular due to its advantage of weight- loss potential.

About the Ozempic Drug:

Ozempic is a brand name for the generic drug semaglutide, which is FDA-approved to treat Type-2 Diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels.
It is administered by injection or can be taken orally.
Ozempic works by mimicking the effects of a hormone- called GLP-1, which is naturally produced in the body.
- GLP1 helps to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin, slowing down the release of glucose from the liver.
Concern: Ozempic face is the side effect of the drug that causes facial ageing, skin sagging.
