Ozempic®
Medical Treatment for Weight Management Under Specialized Supervision
Obesity is a chronic disease that requires a serious, individualized, and evidence-based medical approach. In recent years, medicine has incorporated pharmacological treatments that have demonstrated real benefits in metabolic control and weight reduction when used appropriately.
One of these options is Ozempic® (semaglutide), an injectable medication that, under medical supervision, can be part of a comprehensive treatment for the management of obesity and its associated complications.
At INOBESID, a clinic specialized in bariatrics and bariatric surgery, we evaluate whether this type of treatment is suitable for each patient, always prioritizing safety and sustainable results.
What Is Ozempic and How Does It Work in the Body?
Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable medication whose active ingredient is semaglutide, a GLP-1 analog—a hormone involved in appetite regulation and metabolic control.
Its action helps to:
- Decrease appetite
- Increase the feeling of fullness
- Reduce caloric intake
- Improve glucose control
- Promote progressive weight loss
It is important to emphasize that Ozempic is not a medication for improvised weight loss, but a drug that must be prescribed and monitored by medical specialists.
Who May Be a Candidate for Ozempic?
Ozempic may be considered in patients who:
- Have obesity or overweight with risk factors
- Present insulin resistance or metabolic alterations
- Have not achieved sustainable results with diet and exercise alone
- Are seeking a medical option before considering bariatric surgery
- Require pharmacological support as part of a comprehensive treatment plan
Indication always depends on a complete medical evaluation, clinical testing, and individual health goals.
Does Ozempic Replace Bariatric Surgery?
No. These are different strategies with specific objectives.
At INOBESID, we understand that:
- Some patients respond adequately to medical treatment
- Others require bariatric surgery to achieve effective disease control
- In certain cases, medications can be used as support before or after surgery
The right decision is made during consultation, guided by medical judgment and a long-term approach.
The Importance of Specialized Medical Supervision
Using Ozempic without proper follow-up may limit results or increase the risk of side effects. Professional management allows:
- Safe dose adjustments
- Early detection and control of adverse effects
- Integration of nutrition, lifestyle changes, and metabolic follow-up
- Achieving sustainable improvements in weight and overall health
At INOBESID, obesity treatment goes beyond the number on the scale—it focuses on the patient’s comprehensive health.
