Why Get Tested for Treatment?
Ozempic and other semaglutide injections are not weight loss supplements.
They are prescription medications for a reason. Buying Ozempic or semaglutide online without a prescription may seem easy (like shopping on Takealot) and affordable, but it carries hidden risks.
You could be injecting counterfeit, contaminated, or dangerously dosed products into your body.
This is not like taking bad vitamins. Semaglutide affects how your body functions, and without proper medical screening, you risk serious complications such as pancreatitis or thyroid problems.
How to use the semaglutide injection for weight loss
Semaglutide/Ozempic is in a prefilled injection pen that contains multiple doses. If prescribed, you then administer the injection under the skin of your stomach, thigh, or arm once a week.
While a routine injection may sound intimidating, the semaglutide pen uses a tiny needle designed to minimize discomfort. You’ll also receive clear instructions on using the injection pen.
Who should not use the Semaglutide Injection?
Semaglutide may cause serious side effects, including thyroid tumors. It is not recommended for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma.Do not use if you or someone in your family has a history of MTC or MEN 2 thyroid cancer.
Is it safe to order Ozempic online in South Africa?
To use the Semaglutide injection for off-label weight loss safely, it's crucial to avoid ordering semaglutide from unlicensed sources, particularly those not supervised by medical professionals in South Africa.
Before using Semaglutide, it is essential to consult a doctor to determine if it is suitable for your specific health needs and to receive proper guidance on its use for weight management.
