What’s in semaglutide—its ingredients and excipients?
“Semaglutide” is the active ingredient in several medicines, most commonly injectable products (and also an oral tablet form in some markets). The exact “ingredients list” depends on the specific brand and dosage form because manufacturers include different inactive excipients (fillers, stabilizers, preservatives).
Ozempic ingredients list (semaglutide injection)
Ozempic is semaglutide injection. The label includes semaglutide as the active ingredient plus inactive components (excipients) needed to stabilize the medicine in a prefilled pen. The precise excipients can vary by strength and packaging, so you typically need to check the leaflet for the exact pen/dose you have.
Wegovy ingredients list (semaglutide injection)
Wegovy is semaglutide injection used for weight management. Like other semaglutide injections, it contains semaglutide plus formulation excipients to maintain stability and allow consistent dosing. The exact list can differ from Ozempic even though both contain semaglutide.
Rybelsus ingredients list (oral semaglutide tablets)
Rybelsus is oral semaglutide. Tablet products generally have different excipients than injections (for example, components used to form the tablet and protect drug stability during absorption). The ingredients list will therefore differ from Ozempic/Wegovy.
Why the “ingredients list” can look different from one bottle/pen to another
Semaglutide products are made in different dosage forms (oral tablet vs. injection) and strengths. Excipients can also change across countries or over time. For the most accurate ingredients list, use the package insert or patient leaflet for your exact product (brand name, strength, and form).
Where to find the exact ingredients on your product label
Check the “inactive ingredients” section of the package insert/patient leaflet that came with your pen/tablets. If you tell me the exact product name (Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus), strength (e.g., 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg), and whether it’s injection or tablet, I can help you pinpoint what to look for on the label.
