About Ozempic in Iowa

What is Ozempic?

Ozempic is a once-weekly injection from Novo Nordisk that was FDA-approved in 2017 to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps the pancreas release insulin after meals, slows how fast your stomach empties, and reduces appetite. Ozempic uses the same active ingredient (semaglutide) as Wegovy, but Wegovy is the version specifically approved for weight loss at a higher dose. Ozempic is FDA-approved only for type 2 diabetes in adults, and to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in adults with both type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It is not approved for weight loss, but some doctors prescribe it off-label for that reason and insurance rarely covers off-label use.

Expected weight loss

In diabetes trials, people on Ozempic 1 mg lost about 6% of their body weight, and those on 2 mg lost about 8%. That is less than Wegovy (about 15% at 2.4 mg) because Ozempic uses a lower maximum dose. If weight loss is your primary goal and you do not have diabetes, Wegovy or Zepbound will usually produce better results.
