Same molecule, three FDA-approved indications, three dosage schedules.

Full article coming soon. This post will go deep on the differences between semaglutide (the molecule), Ozempic (diabetes brand, up to 2.0 mg/week), and Wegovy (weight-loss brand, up to 2.4 mg/week). Until then, see our full dosage chart for side-by-side titration data.

Quick primer

Semaglutide is the generic name of the molecule. It is marketed by Novo Nordisk under three brand names for three approved indications:

  • Ozempic: weekly injection for type 2 diabetes, max 2.0 mg/week.
  • Wegovy: weekly injection for chronic weight management, max 2.4 mg/week.
  • Rybelsus: daily oral tablet for type 2 diabetes, max 14 mg/day.

All share the same active ingredient and general pharmacology. They differ in approved indication, maximum dose, titration schedule, and route of administration. Our drug-page trio covers each: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus.
