Same molecule (semaglutide). Ozempic is dosed/approved for diabetes, Wegovy for chronic weight loss.
That is an off-label use. Many physicians prescribe it, but the FDA indication for weight loss is Wegovy (same active ingredient, semaglutide, at a higher dose).
No - much of the process can be done online: evaluation, prescription if eligible, then home delivery.
