Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Ozempic is effective for lowering blood sugar and A1C hemoglobin test scores for most people. Type 2 diabetics that are more at risk of cardiovascular failure, heart attack, or stroke because of their diabetes are ideal candidates to switch to Ozempic.
Better diabetes management with Ozempic is dependent on diet and exercise level changes to go along with using Semaglutide. Ozempic is not for weight loss, but some users may see better results from the increased physical activity levels that are a part of treatment with this medication.
Meeting with your physician is the first step to seeing if Ozempic is a better choices as your diabetes medication.
Ozempic is a non-insulin diabetes medication that work with the body's natural ability to lower blood sugar and get A1c scored down below the standard 7% threshold. It is designed to begin working when your blood sugar rises, and it promotes the pancreas releasing more insulin when blood sugar levels are up.
Ozempic also prevents the liver from producing and releasing higher levels of glucose. The last part of how Ozempic works is that it slows down food leaving the stomach.
Ozempic is a once-weekly diabetes medication delivered with the Ozempic pen. The injection is administered under the skin (subcutaneously) of the stomach (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
These are the only three administration sites. Injection should not be made into a muscle (intramuscularly) or into a vein (intravenously).
Ozempic users commonly see better results in their A1C test scores, but results will vary for people based on different factors. It is important to follow your diabetes treatment regimen exactly as it is laid out for by your doctor, and Ozempic users need to incorporate diet and exercise changes to see best results.
It is important to understand that Ozempic is not indicated for weight loss. Increased weight loss may be benefit for some people using Ozempic, and especially those who adhere to the diet and exercise part of using this medication. Keep in mind that some study participants using Ozempic experienced weight gain, although this is uncommon.

Your Ozempic price will depend on the pharmacy and whether you are filling a prescription for the 0.5mg or 1mg Ozempic pen. Many people in North America will be able to buy diabetic medication with a co-pay arrangement through their health benefits. US residents may want to consider applying for the Ozempic savings card made available by Novo Nordisk.
You also may be able to buy Ozempic for less when you order medication online from Canada Drugs Direct.
Best results from Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes are seen in users who eat a healthier diet with lower glycemic loads per meal and significant reductions in sugar intake via diet. Increased exercise / physical activity levels should be discussed with your doctor before starting on a Type 2 diabetes treatment medication. For most people 30 minutes of upbeat cardiovascular exercise (anything that gets your heart rate up and makes you break a sweat) 3 times a week is a good baseline to start at.
If you are beginning physical exercise for the first time it is important to go slow and steady in the beginning, and this is true for people of all ages.
