Semaglutide Ozempic

Ozempic  is perhaps the most well-known of the weight loss injection pens, however, it's not actually licensed for weight loss! In the UK, Ozempic is licensed in the treatment of diabetes.  Despite this, it is effective in helping patients lose weight, and as a result, many doctors do prescribe Ozempic off licence (a legal practice), to patients.

Ozempic, like Wegovy, contains the active ingredient semaglutide. 

Because Ozempic is primarily a drug used in diabetes, we choose not to prescribe this, so as not to affect critical supply chains for diabetic patients.
