Ozempic - Overview
Ozempic is once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist medication sometimes prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes along with diet and exercise. People who might need an Ozempic prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe the medication to a retail or delivery pharmacy when appropriate to do so.
What Is Ozempic Used For?
Ozempic contains semaglutide and belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Labeled uses for the medication include:
- Improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes
- Reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease
- Reduce the risk of worsening kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease
Ozempic works by increasing glucose-dependent insulin release, lowering glucagon, and slowing stomach emptying. It can also reduce appetite. Weight loss is common but Ozempic is not labeled for that use in contrast to Wegovy which has the same active ingredient.
Related GLP-1 medications include Rybelsus, Trulicity and Victoza as well as Mounjaro and Zepbound. Mounjaro and Zepbound contain tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist as opposed to semaglutide.
Ozempic vs Wegovy vs Mounjaro
| Product | Ingredient | Labeled use | Usual maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ozempic | Semaglutide | Type 2 diabetes; selected heart and kidney risk reduction | 2 mg weekly |
| Wegovy | Semaglutide | Chronic weight management; cardiovascular risk reduction in obesity | 2.4 mg weekly, or a daily tablet |
| Mounjaro | Tirzepatide | Type 2 diabetes | 15 mg weekly |
Ozempic - Dosage and Cost
Ozempic is commonly started at 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 0.5 mg weekly, depending on the individual needs of the patient. Higher Ozempic doses might be prescribed if more glucose control is needed. The medication should be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm on the same day each week, with or without food. If a dose is missed, it is typically recommended that the medication be taken within 5 days or else to skip it (contact a medical provider for exact instructions).
Ozempic is expensive, costing several hundred dollars per pen without insurance coverage. Prior authorizations are often required. Prescription discount cards may be available online or through manufacturer programs.
