Common questions about Ozempic®
What is Ozempic®?
Ozempic® is a brand-name version of semaglutide, a type of medication known as a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Ozempic® is generally prescribed to manage specific symptoms and risks associated with type 2 diabetes, but it can also be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a provider’s discretion. Ozempic® works by slowing digestion, helping you feel full longer. Like other GLP-1 receptor agonists, it mimics a natural hormone that manages blood sugar and may aid in weight loss.
How fast and how much can you lose weight when on Ozempic®?
The rate of weight loss and the amount varies depending on your starting weight, adherence to the program, and specific medications used. GLP-1 medications have been shown to, on average, help individuals lose 15% of their weight in a year.2
How do weight loss injections work?
Weight loss injections, such as those containing GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These injections slow gastric emptying and increase feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss.

FAQs
How does the Lemonaid Health Weight Loss service work?
You will first complete a detailed intake process which allows us to gather information about your health history, health concerns, medications, and more. After completing the intake process, a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider will review and conduct a consultation to determine if a weight loss treatment is appropriate for you. If suitable, your provider will discuss medication options and recommend a personalized treatment plan. Typically, treatment begins with a lower dose to minimize side effects, gradually increasing over time until achieving a maintenance dosage. If a Lemonaid Health affiliated healthcare provider determines that weight loss treatment is appropriate for you, the provider will establish the appropriate dosing schedule for you.
As you increase your dosage you will have check-ins with a Lemonaid Health affiliated provider to discuss the appropriateness of a dosage change. Once you reach a maintenance dosage, you will have regular interval check-ins to discuss your treatment and the appropriateness of new prescriptions.
Do you accept insurance?
Our weight loss offering is cash-pay only, so you’ll need to pay out of pocket. Lemonaid Health cannot accept insurance for membership fees, medication costs, or medical fees.
