What to Expect Before, During, and After Ozempic Treatment

At En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, your safety and well-being are our top priorities when considering innovative treatments like Ozempic for weight management. Before starting Ozempic, our expert medical team will conduct a comprehensive consultation to ensure this therapy is right for you.

During your visit, we’ll review your full medical history—including any past issues with your pancreas, kidneys, or vision (such as diabetic retinopathy). Let us know if you’ve had allergic reactions to medications, especially semaglutide or other components in Ozempic. Please bring a list of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you currently use, as Ozempic may interact with other therapies, particularly those that lower blood sugar.

As part of our integrative approach, we may check your baseline blood sugar, kidney function, and eye health before recommending Ozempic. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, our team will help you explore safe alternatives, as Ozempic is not recommended in these situations. We’ll also discuss your nutrition, exercise habits, and any recent gastrointestinal concerns to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.

Before your first injection, our providers will guide you step-by-step on how to use the Ozempic pen, including proper storage and handling. We’ll review potential side effects, such as nausea or diarrhea, and make sure you know what to do if you experience serious symptoms like severe abdominal pain or signs of an allergic reaction. If you are taking other diabetes medications, we’ll help you understand the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to manage them.

At En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, we believe in ongoing support. We’ll schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your response, adjust your treatment as needed, and provide ongoing education so you can feel confident and empowered throughout your Ozempic journey.

At En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, your health and safety are our top priorities when administering medications like Ozempic. Ozempic is a once-weekly injectable medication that comes in a convenient, pre-filled pen designed for easy and comfortable self-injection. Our dedicated healthcare team will provide you with personalized instruction on how to properly prepare and inject Ozempic under the skin, typically in areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

When you receive Ozempic, we ensure you understand the importance of using the medication on the same day each week—at any time of day, with or without meals. We also teach you to rotate injection sites to minimize the risk of skin irritation and carefully check the medication for clarity before each use.

For your safety, Ozempic should never be injected into a muscle or vein. Used needles and pens should be disposed of properly, and our team is happy to guide you on safe disposal according to local regulations. If you ever miss a dose, our staff will advise you on the best course of action: inject as soon as possible within five days, or skip the dose if more time has passed, then continue your regular schedule.

If you are prescribed Ozempic as part of your treatment plan, you can expect expert guidance and support from our experienced medical team every step of the way.

During your Ozempic treatment, you can expect a personalized plan designed to support gradual and sustainable weight loss. Ozempic works by regulating your blood sugar levels and curbing appetite, helping you feel full for longer periods. The medication is administered through a once-weekly injection, which is typically easy to incorporate into your routine. Your healthcare provider will closely monitor your progress to ensure that the treatment is effective and that any side effects are managed.

Here’s what you can expect during your Ozempic treatment:

• Weekly injections that are easy to administer

• Gradual reduction in appetite

• A steady, sustainable weight loss over time

• Regular check-ins with your healthcare provider to track progress

• Potential side effects, such as mild stomach discomfort, that will be monitored and managed

• Lifestyle guidance to enhance the effects of the treatment

The timeline for seeing results from Ozempic varies from person to person, but many individuals begin to notice improvements within a few weeks of starting treatment. Ozempic helps with weight loss by regulating appetite and improving metabolic function, which can lead to gradual and sustained weight loss over time. While some individuals may experience noticeable changes in their appetite and weight within the first 4 weeks, it can take up to 12 to 16 weeks to see more significant results.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Initial effects may be seen within the first 4 weeks

• Gradual weight loss over 3 to 4 months

• Full results typically achieved after 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment

• Individual results can vary based on lifestyle factors and adherence to the treatment plan

• Regular check-ins with your healthcare provider will help track progress

At En Vogue IV Therapy & Wellness, your health and well-being are our top priorities. If you are currently taking Ozempic (semaglutide) for weight management, it is important not to stop this medication without first consulting with our medical team. Stopping Ozempic suddenly may cause your blood sugar levels to rise and could negatively impact your health.

Our experienced providers will work closely with you to determine the best approach to your medication management. If you have concerns or are experiencing side effects, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us. We can assess your individual needs and, if necessary, create a personalized plan to gradually adjust your dosage or explore alternative therapies, such as our IV therapy options or other wellness treatments, to help you maintain optimal blood sugar control and overall wellness.

Remember, never make changes to your prescription on your own. Let our caring team guide you safely on your health journey.
