Ozotel Tablet

Introduction

Ozotel Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains *Ozempic* (Semaglutide) as its active ingredient, which works by improving insulin secretion and enhancing the body’s response to insulin. Ozotel is effective in controlling blood sugar levels and reducing the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes.
