What's the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?

The main difference between Wegovy and Ozempic, which both contain semaglutide, is their approved uses. Ozempic is FDA approved to treat Type 2 diabetes in adults, and to lower the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It's also approved to lower the risk of kidney disease worsening, kidney failure, and cardiovascular death in people with Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Wegovy is approved for weight loss in certain adults and adolescents ages 12 and older, and to lower the risk of MACE in adults with heart disease and a larger body size. Wegovy is also available in higher doses of semaglutide compared to Ozempic. View original source
