Product details

Description

Ozempic® (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injectable medicine developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and blood sugar levels — which is why Ozempic also reduces hunger and promotes a lasting feeling of fullness.

In the US, Ozempic is authorised for type 2 diabetes. The same active ingredient is available as Wegovy, which is specifically approved for weight management. Following your online consultation, your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option for you. Always discuss your medical history, existing conditions and potential drug interactions with a clinician before starting treatment.
