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 to 1.8 percentage points and produced a mean weight loss of 4.5 to 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]

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.
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.
The most common adverse events in SUSTAIN trials were nausea (15 to 20%), diarrhea (8 to 9%), and vomiting (5 to 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]

Cash prices vary roughly 50× between the brand-name retail rate and a manufacturer savings card. The number you actually pay depends on your insurance plan, your diagnosis code, and which pharmacy fills the script. Here are the ranges, plainly.
