Can You Take Semaglutide if You’re Not Diabetic?

Who Is Semaglutide Approved For?

Semaglutide is approved by the FDA under the brand name Ozempic® for treating type 2 diabetes and as Wegovy® for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight and have a qualifying weight-related condition.

Though developed for blood sugar control, semaglutide has also been studied in populations without diabetes for its role in supporting weight-related outcomes. These findings have led to greater interest in its potential applications in metabolic wellness programs.

Do You Need Diabetes to Be Eligible?

A diabetes diagnosis is not required for eligibility under FDA-approved uses. Adults who are overweight or have obesity and meet other clinical criteria may be evaluated by a licensed provider for treatment options involving semaglutide.

Conditions that may be considered during evaluation include:

• High blood pressure
  
• High cholesterol
  
• Cardiovascular risk factors
  
• BMI over a certain threshold
  
  

Eligibility is based on a comprehensive assessment conducted by a licensed provider, not just a diagnosis.
