That's new under Wegovy

We govt and ozempic are the same drug, semaglutide, made by the same manufacturer, Novo Nordisk.

Wegovy is not new, it was approved by the FDA for weight loss in 2021. And Ozempic was used off label for weight loss for many years before then.

So Ozempic is approved for use by the obese for weight loss.
