Ozempic is not FDA-approved for weight loss, but may be prescribed off-label if a provider deems it appropriate.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic® (semaglutide) is a prescription medication primarily approved for type 2 diabetes that is also prescribed off-label for weight management. Like Wegovy, it contains semaglutide and works by mimicking GLP-1 to regulate appetite. Ozempic is administered as a once-weekly injection.
Ozempic is FDA-approved for the management of certain symptoms and risks of type 2 diabetes.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic works by slowing the digestion process, which can help you to feel full for longer. Ozempic, like other GLP-1 receptor agonists, acts like a hormone your body naturally makes to regulate blood sugar and may help support weight loss.
Ozempic is not FDA-approved for weight loss. Ro-affiliated healthcare professionals have the discretion to prescribe a medication off-label if they believe it is an appropriate course of treatment for a particular patient.
Will my insurance cover the cost?
Our insurance concierge team works with your insurance provider to help get your medication covered. If insurance doesn't cover your medication, we'll discuss alternative options including compounded semaglutide.
Important Safety Information: Ozempic treats type 2 diabetes but may be prescribed off-label for weight loss, if appropriate. Ozempic may have serious side effects, including possible thyroid tumors. Do not use if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC or MEN 2. Read more about serious warnings and safety info.
