While Wegovy and Ozempic stem from Semaglutide and treat similar symptoms, many wonder whether Wegovy works better than Ozempic – The answer is yes, for a number of reasons!
Wegovy is typically prescribed for people who are obese or overweight. In comparison, Ozempic is typically prescribed for type-2 diabetics. While both treat similar symptoms, Wegovy tends to work better for those who aren’t diabetic.
The active ingredient in the Wegovy injection is semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that regulates appetite hormones. When injected into the body, this hormone tells the brain to reduce hunger signals, leading to less food intake and improved metabolic control. It also slows down the digestion process so that the body is able to feel fuller for longer.
Wegovy and Ozempic are prescribed and supplemented with other treatments like diet, exercise, and therapies that may help a patient’s overall health.
