Ozempic weight loss Semaglutide medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy, produce more dramatic weight loss results: A landmark trial showed an average of 15% weight loss on over half of the people on semaglutide (some lost 20%!) The majority of people in the study on semaglutide lost at least 5% of their body weight A very small percentage did not lose weight on semaglutide So, someone whose starting weight is 250 lbs may lose an average of 38 lbs, bringing their new weight to 212.5 lbs
