Ozempic or Wegovy: what is the difference?
Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes and goes up to 2 mg a week. Wegovy is licensed for weight loss and goes up to 2.4 mg a week. Both are weekly injections of semaglutide, made by Novo Nordisk.
For weight loss, Wegovy is the licensed choice. Ozempic is often used in Nigeria because it is easier to find. Your doctor will explain what suits you and why.
Fake Ozempic pens in Nigeria
NAFDAC has warned that falsified Ozempic 1 mg pens in Nigeria were relabelled insulin pens. The sign: a dial that counts 0 to 80 units instead of fixed doses. Insulin taken in place of semaglutide can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar.
- Get semaglutide only on a doctor's prescription, from a licensed pharmacy
- Check the dose dial before the first injection
