WW International, Inc. announced that it completed an acquisition of Sequence, a virtual clinic that offers access to healthcare providers specializing in chronic weight management.
Wegovy and Ozempic, which are the same medication — semaglutide — they just have different dosages and FDA-approved intended uses.
This photograph taken on Feb. 23, 2023, in Paris, shows the anti-diabetic medication"Ozempic" made by Danish pharmaceutical company"Novo Nordisk." A growing number of people have been leaning on the drugs to trim fat after celebrities and other notable figures publicly touted their effectiveness as a weight loss treatment. The drugs gained so much popularity that manufacturer Novo Nordisk could not keep up at one point, causing a temporary nationwide shortage.
However, studies have shown that patients who discontinue semaglutide, will regain two-thirds of the weight they lost within the subsequent year, according to North Carolina-based gastroenterologist and obesity medicine specialist Dr. Christopher McGowan.
