An FDA-approved brand medication, available only when a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you. Nothing is prescribed unless a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you.
Novo Nordisk's brand-name semaglutide injection, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is a manufactured, FDA-reviewed product rather than a preparation compounded for one patient.
Available through the affiliated medical network at a physician's discretion. What is appropriate for you, and whether a brand-name product is the right route at all, is their decision after reviewing 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.
Educational information only. It is not medical advice and does not describe results you should expect. A licensed physician decides what, if anything, is appropriate for you.
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.
Educational information only — not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription, and no outcomes or weight-loss guarantees are made or implied. Every medical decision is made by a licensed physician based on your individual history. Medications carry risks and side effects — see the important safety information on this page. Not everyone qualifies.
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.
