Whilst weight loss is a common secondary benefit, a separate formulation (Wegovy, also semaglutide) is licensed specifically for weight management in the UK
Compounded semaglutide and brand-name formulations (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) contain the same active molecule
And even better news is that the majority of people lost at least 10% or more of their body weight on 2.4 mg of semaglutide
That is 20 weeks at the starting dose, or 10 weeks if you have titrated up to 0.5mg
Considering the expense of these medications is vital when selecting treatment
