In the video below, JP implies that it is. He’s technically correct in that it is banned in some European countries according to a January 2024 article at HealthNews. Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names for the same drug: semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy is FDA-approved for treatment of particular folks with obesity whereas Ozempic is FDA-approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
I understand the superficial appeal of drug-induced weight management: no need to fool with exercise and dietary restriction.
