Comparison

Wegovy® vs. Ozempic®: what's the difference?

Both contain the same molecule, semaglutide, and both are made by Novo Nordisk. They differ in what they are approved for.

In short

Wegovy® is FDA-approved for weight management. Ozempic® is approved to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and is not specifically approved for weight loss, even though it contains the same substance. They also differ in available doses. Your provider determines which applies to your case.

The evaluation available on the SaludBUENO website does not by itself establish a provider-patient relationship between the person completing it and SaludBUENO. CareValidate, a network of U.S.-licensed providers that follows protocols designed for patient safety, sets exclusionary criteria to determine whether a person does not qualify for GLPs treatments. The answers you submit determine whether your case is eligible for review. If you qualify, a licensed provider will review your case before any prescription.

All claims and benefits described on this site are based on experiences reported by patients enrolled in programs that include compounded medications and consultations with health professionals. Results may vary and depend on multiple factors, including program adherence and the treating provider's recommendations.

Compounded GLP medications are produced in FDA-regulated 503A pharmacies. Although these facilities are highly regulated, compounded medications are not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality. The decision to use compounded medications is based on the licensed provider's clinical judgment, taking into account the telehealth consultation and the patient's medical history.

We encourage anyone interested in compounded medications to consult with a health professional about the specific risks and benefits. SaludBUENO does not produce compounded medications. The product received may look different from the images shown on this site.
