Overweight by 50lbs & tried other weight loss for gain attributed to menopause - can I try ozempic?

Ozempic is a GLP-1 Agonist used to treat diabetes type 2, it also works very well in helping people shed weight. Its best you see a bariatric Dr to find out you would be a good candidate for ozempic treatment

Hello Vivid3578 and thank you for your question. Ozempic can be a great weight loss medication. The criteria for prescribing Ozempic is to have a BMI of 30, or to have a BMI of 27 with one other co-morbid condition (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic). Ozempic, in combination with diet and exercise, can work very well for patients if lifestyle changes do take place. I would recommend you schedule a consult/appointment with a provider who specializes in prescribing Ozempic to see if you meet the criteria and what your best options may be.
