Getting acquainted with semaglutide
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medicine that copies a body signal called a hormone.
The gut sends this signal after food.
It helps with the feeling of being full and with how the body handles blood sugar.
Source Semaglutide medicine label
The FDA is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which reviews medicines for specific uses.
Semaglutide is the name of the medicine ingredient.
Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for medicines containing semaglutide.
As of 26 September 2026, both brands had FDA-approved shots and pills in the U.S.

That is a useful place to begin. A drug name alone leaves too much of the conversation unfinished.
Choose what you need
Bring the next question
- AWho is behind the care?Check the service’s names for its health professional and pharmacy.

If you feel rushed
Take the question with you
You do not need a speech. A few notes will do: the help you are seeking, the offer in front of you, and the questions you still have.
Bring it to an in-person clinic or a telehealth visit, where you talk by video, phone or online messages.
It is fine to leave space on the page for an answer. You do not have to turn a first conversation into a decision on the spot.
