Ozempic
A drug originally developed to treat diabetes, and now prescribed for weight loss, may have yet another significant application: stopping, perhaps even reversing, liver disease.
About Ozempic
- Ozempic is the brand name for the drug semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
- It was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but has since gained widespread use for weight loss.
- It belongs to the class of GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) drugs, which mimic a natural hormone in the body.
- How Does Ozempic Work?
- It stimulates insulin secretion.
- It slows down gastric emptying, which prolongs feelings of fullness.
- It suppresses appetite, leading to lower food intake.
- It reduces “food noise” (constant preoccupation with food), which can be helpful in binge eating disorders.
