Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Wegovy® and Ozempic®, powerful GLP-1 receptor agonists that work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body to regulate hunger, reduce cravings, and improve blood sugar.
Wegovy® is FDA-approved specifically for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition.
Ozempic® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes but is often prescribed off-label for weight loss when clinically appropriate.
Both medications are administered as once-weekly injections and are typically paired with diet, exercise, and medical support for best results.
*Final price to patient will depend on medication dosage and membership plan purchase.

Both contain semaglutide, but:
Wegovy® is FDA-approved for weight loss and prescribed in higher doses (up to 2.4mg weekly).
Ozempic® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and often prescribed off-label for weight loss at lower doses (up to 2mg weekly).
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and help you feel full longer. It also improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood sugar levels.
Both are once-weekly subcutaneous injections (under the skin). You inject on the same day each week, at home, using a prefilled pen.

The cost of these medications can vary based on factors such as insurance coverage, pharmacy pricing, and available discounts:
Wegovy® (semaglutide): The list price is approximately $1,349.02 per month without insurance. Novo Nordisk offers a program through NovoCare, providing Wegovy® at $499 per month for eligible individuals without insurance or whose commercial insurance doesn’t cover the medication.
Ozempic® (semaglutide): Primarily prescribed for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic® has a list price around $997.58 per month without insurance. Manufacturer savings programs may be available to help reduce costs for eligible patients.
Compounded Semaglutide: Compounded versions are custom-made and not FDA-approved. Prices typically range from $199 to $600 per month, depending on the compounding pharmacy and dosage. It’s important to note that compounded medications may carry additional risks, and their safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by the FDA.
Note: Insurance coverage for weight loss medications varies. Some plans may cover these drugs, significantly reducing out-of-pocket costs, while others may not. It’s advisable to consult with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options.
