In this video, Inder Birdi discusses the similarities and differences between Ozempic and Wegovy, two different preparations of a drug called Semaglutide. Ozempic is a lower concentration dose of Semaglutide and is primarily used to help diabetics control their blood sugar while also reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. However, it can create side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and has contraindications for those with a history of pancreatitis or thyroid cancer. Wegovy, on the other hand, is a higher concentration of Semaglutide and has recently been licensed for use in patients with a BMI of 35 or above who are struggling to lose weight. It suppresses appetite and can be effective in helping patients lose weight, but also has specific criteria that need to be met as part of a multidisciplinary approach. The speaker advises counseling for those who may be prescribed Wegovy to keep the weight off as it will only be prescribed for two years. Overall, the video provides information on the uses, effects, and limitations of Ozempic and Wegovy while advising caution regarding their potential side effects and contraindications.
