Ozempic is an injectable type 2 diabetes medication taken once a week. It has also been shown to effectively help users lose weight. Ozempic contains the active ingredient semaglutide. This mimics a hormone that tells your brain you feel full, suppressing your appetite. Although it is not currently available in the UK for weight loss, there are alternatives, such as Saxenda. Saxenda is injected daily, though and contains a different active ingredient.  

Wegovy is a version of Ozempic made for weight loss.
