Ozempic is a once weekly injection of semaglutide developed for adults living with type 2 diabetes. It improves blood sugar control by prompting the body to release insulin when glucose runs high and by slowing how quickly the stomach empties, smoothing out the peaks and dips across the day.
Beyond glucose, it earned a further approval for reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in adults who have type 2 diabetes alongside established heart disease. That dual benefit is a large part of why it has become so widely relied upon in diabetes care.
One point is worth stating plainly. Ozempic is approved for diabetes and heart risk, not for weight loss. The medicine licensed specifically for weight management is Wegovy, which contains the same molecule at doses studied for that purpose. A clinician will always prescribe according to the approved use.
As with all GLP-1 medicines it carries a thyroid tumor boxed warning and is unsuitable for anyone with a history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. It is available only on prescription.
Semaglutide as the active ingredient, in a sterile solution for injection.
