What does “launch date” mean for Ozempic in the US—approval date or first sales?

In the US, people often use “launch date” to refer to the FDA approval date rather than the day pharmacies began selling it. For Ozempic, the key US milestone is FDA approval in 2017 [1].

Is Ozempic still the same drug, or did later US launches happen?

Ozempic is the same branded product (semaglutide injection), but the availability of additional dosing strengths and label updates have come over time. The original US launch anchor remains the 2017 FDA approval [1].
