How Ozempic Helps You Lose Weight: Houston Experts Explain
Intro
Ozempic® is one of the most talked-about medications for weight loss—and for good reason. Originally designed for type 2 diabetes, this weekly injection has now become a go-to treatment for patients looking to lose significant weight safely. Here’s how it works, and how to get it in Houston.
How Ozempic Works
Ozempic contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This mimics a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. It:
- Slows down stomach emptying
- Reduces appetite
- Helps regulate blood sugar
- Increases insulin sensitivity
How Much Weight Can You Lose?
Patients often lose 10–15% of their starting body weight in 3–6 months. Results vary based on dose, lifestyle changes, and consistency.
Who Qualifies for Ozempic at TeleSlim Clinic Houston?
You may qualify if you:
- Have a BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with health issues like diabetes or hypertension
- Haven’t seen results with diet and exercise alone
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
How to Get a Prescription
Our Houston-based clinic uses telemedicine. After a virtual consultation with one of our doctors, we’ll determine if Ozempic is right for you and send your prescription to your local pharmacy.
Ozempic vs. Other GLP-1s
Wegovy® (also semaglutide) is FDA-approved for weight loss and often used when insurance covers it. Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) may offer even greater weight loss in some patients. We’ll help you decide based on availability and insurance.
