Semaglutide is sold under three brand names, each with slightly different dosing profiles: Ozempic injectable, once-weekly, approved for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk reduction Wegovy injectable, once-weekly, higher dose (up to 2.4 mg), approved for weight management Rybelsus oral tablet, taken daily, approved for type 2 diabetes All three share the same active ingredient and similar side-effect profiles, though Wegovy at higher doses tends to cause more frequent GI symptoms
