It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist: it mimics the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1, which is naturally produced in your intestines after eating. This hormone stimulates insulin production, slows stomach emptying, and signals to your brain that you are full.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effectiveness and results<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Ozempic work for weight loss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Ozempic slows stomach emptying, you stay full longer after eating. At the same time, it suppresses your appetite by acting on the brain\u2019s reward center. As a result, you eat less without having to consciously work very hard at it. Combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, this leads to gradual but significant weight loss.   <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-voor-afvallen.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12339 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-voor-afvallen.png 777w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-voor-afvallen-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-voor-afvallen-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ozempic-injecties-voor-afvallen-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6138 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult-360x270.png 360w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Medisch-afvallen-met-Mounjaro-consult.png 1448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weight Loss and Ozempic<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ozempic for weight loss: is that what it&#8217;s meant for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ozempic is primarily approved for type 2 diabetes. For weight management, there is a specific approved medication with the same active ingredient but in a higher dosage: Wegovy. In practice, Ozempic is also used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/medical-weight-loss-with-injections\/\">weight management<\/a>, but this is an off-label use. At Aepril Clinics, we always discuss which medication is most suitable for your situation.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target Audience and Effectiveness<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Ozempic suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For adults who are overweight or obese and for whom lifestyle changes alone do not produce sufficient results. There are contraindications, such as certain thyroid disorders, pancreatitis, or pregnancy. We always assess this during the medical consultation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studies show that semaglutide results in an average weight loss of 12 to 15 percent over a period of 68 weeks in people without diabetes. The results are greatest when combined with a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to lose weight with Ozempic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering what this treatment costs? <a href=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/en\/rates\/\">View the current rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1024x592.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6140 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-1536x889.png 1536w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling-467x270.png 467w, https:\/\/aeprilclinics.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mounjaro-resultaten-behandeling.png 1649w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light wave\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-accent-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Schedule your consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Would you like to know if Ozempic is right for you?
