About Ozempic®

Ozempic®, a GLP-1 agonist, works by increasing insulin release, delaying gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. Ozempic® is used to treat type 2 diabetes, but can result in weight loss. It can lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic® is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as well as under different brand names, including semaglutide.
Ozempic® may be prescribed as an injection. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.

If you're prescribed Ozempic®, be sure to complete the full course of the GLP-1 agonist unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, Ozempic® may not fully treat your type 2 diabetes or weight-related medical problems.

Great app, great Doctors!

Great app, great Doctors! There are DR's available nearly 24/7 for appointments. Even between 12am-6am. My doctor is friendly and knowledgeable and quickly built a plan with me to accomplish some of my health goals. Were easy to talk to when I wanted to try the new weight loss medication that was FDA approved. Got the prescription in 2 visits (4 days) once I got some blood work done. Love Plush Care!

Stellar Experience

As a corporate benefits executive for a Fortune 500 company, I am typically a skeptical of membership telehealth providers. Even some of the ones affiliated with major carriers are still "learning". My experience with PlushCare was absolutely stellar from the technology, efficiency, quality of care and follow-up perspective. While this was just one event, I am extremely impressed and will not hesitate to use the services again when needed.

Ozempic® prescription FAQs

  • How to get Ozempic® for weight loss?

    Ozempic® is a type 2 diabetes drug. If you have type 2 diabetes and are interested in Ozempic, speak with one of our trusted, board-certified physicians online to see if it's right for you. This includes discussing your medical history and current medications, and ordering baseline lab tests to determine if you qualify for an Ozempic® prescription.

    While Ozempic® is not specifically for weight loss, Ozempic®’s ingredient, semaglutide, was approved for weight management by the FDA in 2021. This branding of semaglutide has been named Wegovy®. If you're considering a Wegovy® prescription online, our board-certified doctors can provide valuable insights into how it may benefit you.

    If you're seeking support on your weight management journey, Ozempic® Health Coaching provides tailored guidance. Their diabetes health coach sessions are designed to steer, assist, and inspire you toward achieving diabetes goals.

  • How much does Ozempic® cost?

    If you qualify for an Ozempic® prescription and the drug is included in your insurance plan’s formulary, your monthly cost may vary.  Without insurance, depending on your pharmacy, Ozempic® costs around $949 for 2 mg/3 mL injectable solution (price may vary depending on dose).

    Many branded type 2 diabetes and weight loss medications require prior authorization in order for insurance to cover the cost. Your PlushCare physician and care team will reach out to your insurer on your behalf, and this process can take several business days. If you are denied the prior authorization or do not have health insurance, you may still purchase the medication at the full cash price. It is important to note that a type 2 diabetes diagnosis is usually required for insurance approval of this medication.

  • Does Ozempic® work for weight loss?

    Although only FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic® may help with weight loss alongside diabetes management. Results vary in adult patients with Ozempic®. Some people lost weight quickly in the trials; for others, losing weight may take longer. Ozempic® has been shown to help individuals with type 2 diabetes lose body weight in a safe, long-term, and healthy way. One of our top-rated, board-certified doctors will help you with dosages of Ozempic® and might recommend slowly increasing dosage over time to maximize results.

    The speed at which you lose weight is primarily influenced by the lifestyle changes you can make with diet and exercise. It’s important to remember that weight loss takes time, and you’ll have the best results if you use Ozempic® in combination with exercise and a healthy diet.

  • How much weight can you lose on Ozempic®?

    Ozempic® is not a weight loss drug. Ozempic® may be able to help patients with type 2 diabetes lose weight. How much weight you can lose with Ozempic® depends on your dosage and how long. In clinical trials, it took 68 weeks for the average study participant to lose 33 pounds on a 2.4mg dose of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic®.1

  • Is Ozempic® good for weight loss?

    Ozempic® is only FDA-approved to treat type 2 diabetes. Based on clinical trials completed, Ozempic® is an effective drug for helping individuals with type 2 diabetes achieve weight loss when it is part of a lifestyle change program.

    Research published in 2021 concluded that “in participants who are overweight or obese, 2.4 mg of semaglutide (Ozempic®) once weekly plus lifestyle intervention was associated with sustained, clinically relevant reduction in body weight.”1 The results of the clinical trials showed that in 1961 adult patients, the average weight loss in 68 weeks was:

    • 15.3 kg (33.1 lbs) with 2.4 mg of semaglutide (Ozempic®) weekly

    • 2.6 kg (5.1 lbs) with placebo

  • How can I refill my Ozempic® prescription?

    To refill your Ozempic® prescription, book a virtual appointment with one of our top rated board-certified doctors. After reviewing your symptoms, ordering any necessary lab work or evaluations, and assessing your results, your doctor can send an electronic prescription to your local pharmacy.
