At Sunset Hills Med Spa, our team of healthcare professionals understands the importance of managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. We offer a range of treatments, including prescription medications like Ozempic, to help our patients maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Ozempic is a medicine that can help people with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise aren't sufficient. However, there are several criteria that patients need to meet before they can start on Ozempic. Firstly, a patient must have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by a healthcare professional. Ozempic is not for type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is also used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults and children who weigh at least 60 kg and are 10 years of age or older. Secondly, the patient should have tried other diabetes medications and found them ineffective. Ozempic is not typically a first-line treatment, but is often prescribed when other options fail to deliver desired results. Thirdly, the patient must have sufficient pancreatic function to produce and release insulin, as Ozempic works by stimulating insulin production. They also must not have any history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, thyroid C-cell carcinoma, or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2, ozempic can exacerbate these conditions. If you have any allergies, especially to semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, it is of utmost importance to inform your healthcare provider at Sunset Hills Med Spa. An allergic reaction to this medication could lead to serious health complications. Lastly, the patient's overall health condition must be able to handle the medication. This means that individuals must not have severe liver disease, kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, pancreatitis, or a history of alcoholism. They should also not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a body weight below 60 kg due to potential risks. Our experienced employees will carry out an extensive health check to ensure you are suitable for Ozempic before prescribing it.
