Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic among others, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.[2] It is less preferred to metformin, though they may be used together.[2][3] It improves blood sugar control, decreases the risk of heart disease, and decreases the risk of kidney problems.[2] It is used by mouth or by injection under the skin.[2]

Common side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation.[2] Serious side effects may include diabetic ketoacidosis, low blood sugar, and pancreatitis.[3] There are concerns that use during pregnancy may harm the baby and use when breastfeeding is not recommended.[2] It works like human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and increases insulin release, decreases glucagon release, and slows stomach emptying.[3]

Semaglutide was approved for medical use in the United States in 2017.[2] It was developed by Novo Nordisk.[2] It was the first GLP-1 that can be taken by mouth.[4] In the United Kingdom 2 mg for injection costs the NHS about £73 as of 2020.[3] This amount in the United States costs about 850 USD as of 2021.[5]
