All About Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy & Rybelsus
Manage episode 372058329 series 2779508
Last year, Medcan director of weight management Dr. David Macklin predicted the diabetes medication semaglutide would be a game changer for those seeking help to lose weight. Now known by trade names like Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, today semaglutide is advertised on billboards and in TV commercials — and the hashtag has more than 330 million views on Tiktok. So we invited back Dr. Macklin to get his perspective on the medication, now that it’s actually on the market and being used by hundreds of thousands of people across North America. Joined by Medcan CMO Dr. Peter Nord, Dr. Macklin explains semaglutide’s benefits, side effects and costs — and describes what’s different about Medcan’s approach to weight management in the semaglutide era.
DISCLOSURE
In addition to his role at Medcan, Dr. Macklin helped to write the Canadian clinical guidelines for obesity. He also receives consulting fees, honoraria, and licensing fees from Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk is the manufacturer of semaglutide (trade name Ozempic).
