About Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — the class of medicines behind the global surge in interest around Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. It was developed for type-2 diabetes, where it lowers blood sugar, but it also powerfully reduces appetite and body weight, which is why it has become one of the most sought-after (and most talked-about) drugs in Nigeria's cities. It is made by Novo Nordisk and sold as Ozempic (a once-weekly injection for diabetes), Rybelsus (a daily tablet for diabetes), and Wegovy (a higher-dose weekly injection licensed specifically for weight loss).
