Can I switch from Ozempic to Wegovy?
Yes, as the two medications are exactly the same you can switch from Ozempic to Wegovy
- Ozempic (Semaglutide) is licenced for type 2 diabetes and until recently, was prescribed “off label” for weight loss
- Wegovy (Semaglutide) is licenced to treat patients with overweight and obesity.
Providing that there has been no break from taking the medication, you can take the same dose of Wegovy when your next dose of Ozempic is due.
Wegovy has two higher doses of semaglutide available, which Ozempic does not. You can titrate up to these doses when (and if) the dose you are currently taking is not working as effectively.
