💊Wegovy or Ozempic?

May be a graphic of text that says 'Ozempic FDA Approved Wegovy Contain semaglutide 2017 FDA Approved Once weekly injections 2021 Approximate cost per month without insurance $907 Novo Nordisk-manufactured Approximate cost per month without insurance Dose increases over time to a maintenance dose Require Pens per month prescription $1,627 1 Experienced shortages Pens per month drugwatch.'

Have you noticed how often the media incorrectly refers to Ozempic when they should actually be calling it Wegovy?

Yes, they both contain the active ingredient semaglutide a GLP-1 receptor agonist, but the dosage is different. The visual (above) shows other differences…. Ozempic (T2 Diabetes); Wegovy (obesity treatment).

Here are just a few examples of article headlines that should actually read Wegovy and NOT Ozempic …don’t make this mistake! #wordsmatter
