Semaglutide, sold under brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy, is an FDA-approved GLP-1-only treatment for type 2 diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular risk reduction. The main practical difference is that Mazdutide is not yet available, while Semaglutide is taken as an injection or oral pill, depending on the brand.
