Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and long-term weight management. It is available under the brand names Wegovy and Ozempic, and is administered through injection. Semaglutide works by helping the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high, and helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. However, it may increase the risk of developing tumors in the thyroid gland. The medication has been shown to be effective in promoting weight loss, with patients taking the 2.4mg dose losing approximately 12% of their weight within 28 weeks. Cost-wise, a one-month supply can range from $149-$399 depending on dosage.
Wegovy is a prescription medication for adults with obesity or overweight. It contains semaglutide and works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food. It is used as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. Patients taking Wegovy lost an average of 35 lbs over 68 weeks, and 83% of them lost 5% or more of their weight. Wegovy comes in 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg pens, while Ozempic is available in 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1.0 mg pens. It may take several weeks or months before a person notices weight loss or a decrease in appetite from Wegovy.
Ozempic is a once-weekly injection medication used to improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when used alongside diet and exercise. It stimulates insulin secretion to lower fasting and postprandial blood glucose. Another brand of semaglutide, Wegovy, is approved for weight loss, but Ozempic is not. Ozempic and metformin are both antidiabetic medications that control blood sugar. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012, it is an antidiabetic medication also used as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management.
