Is Ozempic insulin? Ozempic (Semaglutide)

No. Ozempic is not insulin.

Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It helps lower blood sugar partly by signaling your pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar is high, but it does not replace insulin and is not the same medication.

People with diabetes may be prescribed Ozempic, insulin, or both, depending on their situation. Don’t swap or stop either without your prescriber’s guidance.
