What is Ozempic?
Ozempic is the trade name for semaglutide, a relatively new treatment for Type 2 Diabetics. It is also sold by the same company under the name Wegovy, and under that name is FDA approved for weight loss in patients who have obesity (BMI 30 or higher). Ozempic is a highly effective treatment for weight loss, when combined with a healthy reduced calorie diet. Due to it’s popularity, Ozempic is often hard to find. Omaha Med Spa has been able to obtain Ozempic and it will be offered to patients with obesity. Ozempic users will follow the safe and highly OWL (Omaha Weight Loss) Diet program developed by Dr. Carter Abbott. The OWL Diet is offered exclusively at Omaha Med Spa. There are no generics of Ozempic at this time. There are other drugs from this new class of medication that also assist in weight loss but we are not offering them at this time.
How is Ozempic administered and stored?
Ozempic will be dispensed by Omaha Med Spa pharmacy. We will not be calling in prescriptions for Ozempic or Wegovy. Patients will receive one prefilled pen. The new pens can deliver multiple doses. Ozempic is injected once per week at home, by the patient. It may be stored at room temperature or in a refrigerator. If a patient is going to be leaving the prescription in a hot vehicle for any length of time, then an insulated bag with ice pack should be used until you return home.
What is the Total Cost of Using Ozempic from Omaha Med Spa?
We are offering a bundled price of $2,000 that will include the following:
Initial 60 minute consultation with PA or MD. At this visit the provider will go over The OWL Diet program in detail, screen the patient for suitability for use of Ozempic, and train them in its proper use. Ozempic users will follow The OWL Diet. If appropriate, Phentermine, Hcg, and/or Topiramate may be added to Ozempic.
First time users of Ozempic will receive 6-8 weeks of treatment. The dosing of Ozempic starts low and may be increased over time. The dosing regimen options for First Time Ozempic users will be 0.25mg once weekly for 4 weeks. At that point, they may continue on the same 0.25mg dose for another 4 weeks, or the dose may be increased to 0.5mg once weekly for 2 weeks. The lowest effective dose of Ozempic will be selected to reduce risk of adverse side effects.
Patients who restart another round of Ozempic may be on 0.5mg once weekly for 4 weeks. The cost of $2,000 remains the same for First time users of Ozempic or Ozempic/OWL Restarts.
Weekly visits until the pen is used up.
Lipo-B shots at weekly visits.
A copy of The OWL Diet book if you don’t already have one
The bundle price includes the cost of a lab panel that we draw at Omaha Med Spa.
Why is Ozempic so expensive?
Ozempic is a new drug, and the wholesale cost for Omaha Med Spa to buy this drug is very high. We don’t bill your health insurance and we will not submit detailed receipts to insurance companies if you want to be reimbursed. We suggest that if you wish to use health insurance, then you should go to your regular health care provider. If you are a Type 2 Diabetic then seeing your regular health care provider makes the most sense.

Can anyone take Ozempic? What are the side effects?
Omaha Med Spa will prescribe Ozempic for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher after they have been screened by our health care provider at the Ozempic Consultation. There are known side effects and risks from taking Ozempic that we will discuss. As a newer treatment, more adverse side effects and risks may be reported that we are not currently aware of.
You cannot take Ozempic if you have a history of gall bladder disease, pancreatitis or thyroid cancer, or a family history of thyroid cancer. If your gall bladder has been removed and you are no longer having problems with the biliary system, then you may qualify for Ozempic.
No Refunds
If you have an adverse effect from Ozempic and have to stop taking it, there are no refunds as Omaha Med Spa cannot return a partly used Ozempic pen. Your weight loss success on The OWL Diet, with or without the use of Ozempic, is user dependent and we cannot guarantee results.
