Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with a weight-related condition.

Monthly cost runs $199–$379 versus about $1,247 for brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy. Medical Director: Dr. Robert Martinez, MD, Board-Certified Endocrinology.
