It can be injected at any time of the day, without regard to meals. After four weeks, your dose will increase to 0.5 mg once a week.

Ozempic helps with weight loss by slowing down how fast food travels through your digestive tract. This can help you feel fuller for a longer period of time, and reduce your appetite and how much food you eat, leading to weight loss. In clinical studies, patients lost an average of 14 lbs (6.4 kg) when Ozempic was given over a 40-week long period.
Ozempic can work for weight loss because one of its effects is to reduce your appetite. This means it makes you feel fuller after eating less food, helping you to avoid snacking between meals, and as a result helping you lose weight.
