How much weight can I lose with Ozempic?

Clinical trials (the STEP studies) show that people using semaglutide can lose an average of 10–15% of their body weight over a period of approximately 68 weeks. For someone weighing 100 kg, this corresponds to roughly 10 to 15 kg of weight loss. The best results are achieved when Ozempic is combined with healthier eating habits and increased physical activity. Results may vary from person to person.

Who is Ozempic suitable for?

Ozempic for weight loss is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher in combination with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. It is not suitable for type 1 diabetes, pregnancy, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pancreatitis, or a severe allergy to semaglutide. Our registered doctors always assess whether Ozempic is safe and suitable for you.

What are the side effects of Ozempic?

The most reported side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These mainly occur at the start or with increasing dosage and tend to diminish over time in most people. Tips to limit side effects: eat smaller portions, avoid heavy meals, and drink enough water. More serious side effects like pancreatitis are rare. Always consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

How quickly does Ozempic work?

Most users start to notice weight loss within the first 4 to 8 weeks. The biggest effect occurs after 6 to 12 months, when the maintenance dose is reached. Ozempic starts with a low buildup dose, allowing the full effect to gradually take effect. Patience is important - the more consistently you use it (and combine it with lifestyle adjustments), the better the result.

What if I forget a dose?

Did you forget an injection? Take it as soon as you remember within 5 days after the scheduled date. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the dose and continue with the next scheduled day. Never double the dose. To prevent missed doses, it helps to choose a fixed day and time - and set it in your calendar or phone.

Should I change my lifestyle?

Ozempic works best in combination with a healthier diet and more exercise. The medication is a tool that makes it easier to eat less - partly because it reduces appetite and food noise. Take advantage of that benefit by building sustainable habits. Research shows that the combination of semaglutide with lifestyle changes leads to significantly better results than the medication alone.

Do I need a prescription for Ozempic?

Yes, Ozempic is a prescription medication. At Menkind, you go through an online medical questionnaire that is assessed by a BIG-registered Dutch doctor. If Ozempic is suitable for you, you will receive a prescription and your medication will be discreetly delivered to your home. The entire process takes place 100% online.
