Ozempic (semaglutide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are both medications used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity respectively, but they are not interchangeable.
While they contain the same active ingredient, Wegovy is specifically approved/licenced for weight management, whereas Ozempic is primarily approved/licenced for glucose control in type2 diabetes.
Although under normal circumstances, the two medications are not interchangeable yet due to the supply constraints for these medications, this may be advisable under close supervision of your Endocrinologists to prevent disruption of your therapeutic regime.
This video is only an educatiional resource that explains who these switches are possible between the two drugs but does not replace medical advice. Always consult with your endocrinologist or healthcare professional for personalized advice on such medications to avoid any serious complications.
