Medicaid (weight loss)
Diabetes only
As of April 2026, Nevada Medicaid covers GLP-1s for diabetes but not for weight loss. Employer and private plans can still cover them; that is a plan-design choice, not a state rule.

Medicaid status above is for weight-loss use and was compiled April 2026 from KFF and public Medicaid trackers; only 13 states cover it and several are mid-change, so confirm Nevada’s current Medicaid and plan rules before booking. GLPHelper provides information and provider matching, not medical or coverage advice.

§ 04Medication factsheet
cited · last review 2026.05.19

The molecule in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. The brands differ in approved use and maximum dose.

Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist sold under three brand names by Novo Nordisk: Ozempic and Rybelsus for type 2 diabetes, and Wegovy for chronic weight management. It mimics a gut hormone that signals satiety to the brain and slows gastric emptying. The injectable forms share the same molecule; only the approved indication and maximum dose differ.[2][3]

In the STEP-1 obesity trial, adults without diabetes taking Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) lost a mean of 14.9% of body weight at 68 weeks versus 2.4% with placebo. In the SELECT trial, semaglutide 2.4 mg reduced major adverse cardiovascular events by 20% in adults with overweight or obesity and established cardiovascular disease but without diabetes.[1]

§ 06Clinical evidence
STEP 1 to 4 + SELECT (N = 17,604)

What the trials actually showed.

We summarize the STEP weight-management program, the SUSTAIN diabetes program, and the SELECT cardiovascular outcomes trial. Figures are means at each trial's primary endpoint.

STEP-1 randomized 1,961 adults with overweight or obesity (without diabetes) to semaglutide 2.4 mg or placebo for 68 weeks. Mean weight change was −14.9% with semaglutide versus −2.4% with placebo; 86% of treated patients lost ≥5% of body weight.[2]

§ 07Safety & adverse events
from FDA label, sect. 6.1

Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.

The most common adverse events in STEP trials were nausea (44%), diarrhea (30%), and vomiting (24%), more frequent at the 2.4 mg dose than at Ozempic doses, but 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. Boxed warning: risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2).

§ 09Frequently asked: Semaglutide in Nevada

The questions people ask before they book.

Answers reviewed by the GLPHelper Medical Team. Citations link to primary sources, never marketing copy.

Yes. Semaglutide is the active molecule in all three Novo Nordisk products. Ozempic and Rybelsus are approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy is approved for chronic weight management at a higher maximum dose (2.4 mg/week). Insurers treat the brands as separate drugs.[1]
