Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. It works by copying a natural hunger hormone called GLP-1, which tells your brain you are full and slows digestion. Novo Nordisk originally developed it for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic, 2017), then got it approved at a higher dose for weight loss (Wegovy, 2021). In March 2026, an even higher dose called Wegovy HD was approved. Semaglutide is the most widely prescribed GLP-1 medication in the world, with clinical trials showing 15 to 17% average body weight loss.
Expected Weight Loss
In the main weight loss trial, people on Wegovy 2.4 mg lost about 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks (about 16 months). About one in three lost 20% or more. For a 200-pound person, 15% is roughly 30 pounds. Results vary from person to person depending on dose, diet, exercise, and how your body responds.
Cost
Without insurance, Semaglutide typically costs $800-$1,200/month (Ozempic), $1,300-$1,400/month (Wegovy). With insurance, costs range from $25-$200/month (varies by plan).
