✅ Pros of Ozempic 1mg

1. Effective Blood Sugar Control

   • Helps improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation.

2. Weight Loss Benefits

   • Many patients report noticeable weight loss (5–15% of body weight or more in some cases).

   • Slows gastric emptying, reducing appetite and caloric intake.

3. Cardiovascular Benefits

   • Reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

❌ Cons of Ozempic 1mg

1. Gastrointestinal Side Effects

   • Common: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation.

   • Usually worse during dose increases and may subside over time.

2. Possible Risk of Thyroid Tumors

3. Injection-Based
