What Semaglutide means—and what must be checked

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in different prescription medicines. Wegovy and Ozempic contain semaglutide but have different authorised indications, presentations and dose schedules; they must not be treated as interchangeable products.

1

How it works

Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor and can influence appetite, fullness and glucose regulation. Its effects and risks depend on the product, indication, dose and individual clinical circumstances.

2

Safety review

The doctor reviews pregnancy, pancreatitis or gallbladder history, significant gastrointestinal symptoms, diabetes medicines, kidney or liver problems and any current weight-loss injection.

3

Compare correctly

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are different active ingredients. Tirzepatide acts on two receptors; semaglutide acts on GLP-1. Treatment choice should be based on a medical assessment, not online popularity.
