Ozempic Treatment

One of the biggest problems of our era is obesity. Increasing stress as a consequence of modern life, irregular and unhealthy nutrition, easy access to fast food and processed foods, high intake of high-calorie snacks, and unfortunately the decrease in the mobility that the body needs cause a slowdown in the metabolic rate.

Excess calories not only lead to the hardening of arteries by building up of fat in the walls but also to being overweight as a result of storage of body fat that harms the tissues. Too much fat in the abdomen and around the organs is considered the main cause of insulin resistance. As the adipose tissue and fat deposits increase, it unfortunately leads to a vicious circle and the obesity process begins.

Obesity is not just an aesthetic appearance concern; it is also closely associated with health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, neurological diseases, and depression.
It can be determined whether a person is obese or not by taking his/her body mass index (BMI) into account. Individuals with a BMI >25 are considered in the obesity range.

The sooner this problem is resolved, the sooner protection is provided against obesity-related problems.

Some of the drugs discovered as a result of investigations provide weight loss by regulating the metabolism, breaking the insulin resistance, removing the fat before it enters the body, and reducing the appetite, causing fewer calories to enter the body. With the right diet, a sustainable exercise program, and individualized drug therapy in parallel with a diet suitable for the taste and culture of the people, it is ensured that patients lose an average of 12-15 kg in three months. This treatment, which has a 95% success rate, may not be suitable for some patients. It is very important to inform such patients about the problems that may be encountered during their follow-up and not to start the treatment.
