The Ozempic label uses the same description, so the two brands share the molecule.[2]

What differs on the labels

Ozempic's first listed use is blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.[2]

Wegovy's listed uses include weight reduction, including in children aged 12 and older with obesity.[1]
