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]

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]
