What's the generic brand for ozempic?

What is the generic name (not the brand) for Ozempic?

Ozempic’s active ingredient is semaglutide. The “generic brand” people usually mean is the generic drug name: semaglutide. [1]

Why you still might not see “generic Ozempic” in the U.S.

Ozempic is protected by patents and exclusivity for parts of its formulation and delivery. That can delay generic or “interchangeable” versions from being marketed under a generic label as quickly as some other drugs. DrugPatentWatch tracks these patent/exclusivity issues for Ozempic/semaglutide. [2]

What you might see on prescriptions instead

Depending on the country and what’s approved there, pharmacists may dispense a semaglutide product under a generic label (or a different semaglutide brand name). The key generic identifier remains semaglutide. [1]
