Ozempic (semaglutide): Complete Guide 2026

Updated April 2026Reviewed by Enzo Medical Advisory Team

Ozempic (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist made by Novo Nordisk. Originally approved for type 2 diabetes, it has become one of the most prescribed medications in the world due to its significant weight loss effects. Ozempic works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and improving blood sugar control.
