Ozempic
Every GLP-1 the FDA has approved, and the active ingredient inside each one.
Definition
Semaglutide sold as a weekly injection for type 2 diabetes at 0.5, 1 and 2 mg. Chemically identical to Wegovy, approved for a different job, and prescribed off-label for weight loss constantly. The brand name turns up in advertising far more often than in the vial.
GLP Watchdog writes these definitions from FDA labels and peer-reviewed PubMed literature. Not one of them is an AI-generated summary.
