A to Z diets, intermittent fasting, going wild with cardio, lifting weights like Hercules held the world on his shoulders, and even starving the obsession with 'looking perfect is a never-ending one.

What is Ozempic?
Simply put, Ozempic is a prescription drug used to treat people with Type-2 diabetes.
