Ozempic is a brand-name, FDA-reviewed semaglutide injection — a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is the same molecule as Wegovy, supplied as a manufactured product rather than a preparation compounded for one patient.
A weekly injection, available through the affiliated medical network at a physician's discretion after they review your history.
Bring any history of thyroid cancer or MEN 2, pancreatitis, gallbladder or kidney disease, diabetic eye disease, and every other medicine you take, including insulin or sulfonylureas.

Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist taken as a once-weekly injection. It is FDA-approved to improve blood-sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, and to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease. It works by mimicking a hormone your body releases after eating, which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.
Ozempic and Wegovy contain the same molecule — semaglutide — but they are separate medications with different FDA-approved uses. Which of them, if either, is appropriate for you is a decision only a licensed physician can make after reviewing your health history.
You complete a private online evaluation, and a state-licensed physician in the affiliated medical network reviews your health history. Ozempic is prescription-only: it is prescribed only if that physician determines it is appropriate for you, and you are charged for medication only after a prescription is issued. If prescribed, it ships from a U.S. state-licensed pharmacy.

For your consultation
Saving a treatment asks your physician to consider it during your review. It is not an order, a purchase, or a guarantee of prescription — your physician reviews your history and decides what, if anything, is appropriate. Not everyone will qualify.
