Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide when it’s prescribed for weight loss. Semaglutide is also the active ingredient in Ozempic — the difference is the licence and intended use: Ozempic is licensed for diabetes management, while Wegovy is licensed for weight management in eligible patients.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 medicines work by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 that the body naturally releases after eating. This can help patients feel fuller for longer and reduce appetite and cravings.
