Free Ozempic: Fact or Fantasy?

What is Ozempic? 

Ozempic (semaglutide injection) 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg is an injectable prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Also to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, strok, or death in adults who have type 2 diabetes with known heart disease. It is commonly used off-label for weight loss and may be prescribed for people struggling with obesity who do not see results with diet and exercise alone. Ozempic can be costly and many Americans find it challenging to afford this drug on an ongoing basis.
