§ 01Medication factsheet
cited · last review 2026.05.19

An injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes — and, by indirect effect, for body weight.

Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a once-weekly subcutaneous injection in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. It mimics a gut hormone that signals satiety to the brain and slows gastric emptying. In randomized trials it lowered HbA1c by 1.4–1.8 percentage points and produced a mean weight loss of 4.5–6.4 kg at the 1 mg dose.[2][3]

It is FDA-approved for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and for reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with T2D and established cardiovascular disease. The same molecule, marketed by the same manufacturer as Wegovy, is the FDA-approved formulation for chronic weight management.[1]

§ 02Clinical evidence
N = 8,416 across SUSTAIN 1–7

What the trials actually showed.

We summarize results from the SUSTAIN program — the seven Phase III randomized trials Novo Nordisk submitted to the FDA — and the SUSTAIN-6 cardiovascular outcomes trial. Numbers below are means at the 30-week endpoint, 1 mg weekly dose.

SUSTAIN 1–7 compared semaglutide against placebo, sitagliptin, exenatide ER, insulin glargine, and dulaglutide. Semaglutide produced superior HbA1c and body-weight reductions in every active comparator trial.[3]

§ 04Safety & adverse events
from FDA label, sect. 6.1

Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.

The most common adverse events in SUSTAIN trials were nausea (15–20%), diarrhea (8–9%), and vomiting (5–9%), all dose-dependent and typically transient.[1] Serious events were rare but include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and an FDA boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors based on rodent data.[8]

Boxed warning. Contraindicated in personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2).

§ 07Frequently asked — Ozempic in Florida

The questions people ask before they book.

Yes. Semaglutide is a federally scheduled prescription drug in all 50 states. A licensed prescriber (MD, DO, NP, or PA) must evaluate you before issuing a prescription. No state permits pharmacist-initiated prescribing of GLP-1s.[1]
