How It Works

About Semaglutide

Generic semaglutide is a prescription GLP-1 receptor agonist used to support weight management and blood sugar control. It contains the same active ingredient, semaglutide, found in brand-name medications such as Ozempic® and Wegovy®.


Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. Patients taking semaglutide report feeling fuller for longer after meals, helping them achieve a calorie deficit and meaningful weight loss when paired with healthier lifestyle choices.


This weight loss medication is taken once weekly. For patients seeking long-term weight management support, generic semaglutide is a convenient treatment option.

Generic semaglutide may cause mild to moderate side effects, including:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Indigestion
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Reduced appetite

Most patients taking semaglutide for weight loss find that their side effects go away on their own. The body needs time to adjust to the medication, which is why side effects typically improve within several days to a few weeks.


Severe side effects are more rare, but they may include:

  • Gallbladder problems
  • Pancreatitis
  • Kidney complications
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Allergic reactions

Always contact a licensed healthcare professional if you are experiencing severe or persistent side effects.

Ozempic® and Wegovy® are brand-name medications that contain semaglutide as their active ingredient, whereas generic semaglutide is an alternative option that contains the same active ingredient for weight management.


Generic semaglutide may be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional for weight management in eligible patients. While similar, Ozempic® and Wegovy® are packaged for specific indications.


  • Ozempic® is approved by Health Canada for type 2 diabetes management. It is currently popular as an off-label solution for achieving significant weight loss results
  • Wegovy® is specifically designed for weight loss. To qualify for Wegovy®, patients must have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or higher, or a BMI of 27 kg/m2 with at least one weight-related medical condition (high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol)

Semaglutide, Ozempic®, and Wegovy® all contain the same active ingredient. Which one you should choose depends on your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals. TreatMeNow offers a free online consultation that is assessed by a licensed healthcare professional to help you find the most suitable course of weight loss therapy for you.

Generic semaglutide typically comes in an injectable pen and is administered once weekly, but TreatMeNow offers both injectable and oral semaglutide.

Speak to a healthcare professional if you prefer one form over another. For long-term therapy, comfort is important for following your treatment plan. A licensed healthcare professional can recommend the most appropriate formulation based on your preferences, health history, and medical eligibility.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro®) works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Both ingredients can help you lose weight, but they may produce different metabolic effects, which could influence your dosing schedule, tolerability, and treatment timeline.


Because both medications have been shown to support significant weight loss in those eligible, the more appropriate course of treatment often comes down to your healthcare provider’s assessment. TreatMeNow’s free online consultation will take your medical history and treatment goals into consideration, connect you to a licensed healthcare professional, and help you determine the more suitable plan for weight loss.

It takes time for your body to adjust to the medication, and you may notice some mild side effects at the start. However, most patients find that these side effects go away on their own as they continue on with treatment


You will also notice changes in appetite and hunger within the first few weeks of treatment. Weight loss happens over time, and factors like dosage, metabolism, lifestyle habits, and your overall health may influence how long semaglutide takes to work.
