Weight loss results with semaglutide
Semaglutide helps many people lose weight. It’s the main ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. Wegovy is approved for weight loss and uses a higher dose (2.4 mg weekly). Studies showed people using Wegovy lose up to 15% of their body weight in 68 weeks. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, but doctors sometimes prescribe it off-label for weight loss. It was studied at lower doses (up to 2 mg weekly). Studies showed loss between 4% to 9% of total body weight with Ozempic. Results take time. Many see changes after a few weeks and steady loss over months. Results may vary depending on adherence to treatment, diet, and exercise.

How semaglutide helps with weight loss
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone involved in appetite regulation. It works by increasing feelings of fullness, slowing stomach emptying, and reducing hunger signals to the brain. This helps you eat less and makes it easier to follow a lower-calorie diet. By supporting healthy eating habits, medication can lead to sustained weight loss when used alongside lifestyle changes and under medical supervision.

Possible semaglutide side effects
Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can cause side effects. They vary between individuals and may depend on dosage, health conditions, and how your body responds to treatment. You can see a full list of side effects and how to manage them in our article
-
Short-term side effects
These are most common when starting semaglutide or increasing your dose:
- Gastrointestinal effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. These often improve as your body adjusts.
- Appetite changes: reduced hunger or occasional food aversions.
- Fatigue or dizziness: mild and temporary in many cases.
- Injection site reactions (for weekly injections): redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site.
-
Long-term or less common side effects
These are less frequent but important to be aware of:
- Pancreatitis: inflammation of the pancreas; persistent severe abdominal pain should be reported immediately.
- Gallbladder issues: such as gallstones or cholecystitis.
- Changes in blood sugar: especially for people with diabetes; hypoglycemia may occur if used with certain diabetes medications.
- Thyroid concerns: rare risk of thyroid tumors observed in animal studies; risk in humans is still being studied.
- Other effects: some patients report hair thinning or mild mood changes, but these are uncommon.
Most short-term side effects improve over time as your body adjusts. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider help monitor for serious or long-term effects. Side effects can often be managed by adjusting your dose or the timing of injections.
How to take semaglutide
Semaglutide is usually started at a low dose to help your body adjust and reduce side effects. Your doctor gradually increases the maximum semaglutide dose over several weeks until you reach the target dose that supports weight management. Medication is available in different forms, including weekly injections and a daily oral pill. Your doctor will recommend the form and dose that's right for you. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully; do not adjust your dose on your own.
-
For weekly semaglutide injections
- Administered under the skin (subcutaneous) in your thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
- Start at a lower dose to reduce side effects, then gradually increase to the target dose as directed by your doctor.
- Take it on the same day each week for consistent effect.
- Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.
-
For daily oral semaglutide
- Taken by mouth at the same time each day, typically on an empty stomach with water.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medications to ensure proper absorption.
Consistency is important — taking semaglutide as prescribed helps you get the best results. Combine your medication with a healthy diet and regular physical activity for optimal weight management.
