Same molecule (semaglutide). Ozempic is dosed/approved for diabetes, Wegovy for chronic weight loss.

Who can prescribe this treatment?

A physician or authorized practitioner (depending on the state) after evaluation; in telehealth, that practitioner must be licensed in the patient's state of residence.

Can you take Ozempic just to lose weight?
