Semaglutide drugs Ozempic and Wegovy have been made available for prescription in New Zealand. Originally used to treat diabetes, they have been linked to extreme weight loss. Wegovy can be prescribed to people over 12, but its estimated price of $500/month may be unaffordable for many. The drugs have potential benefits for managing obesity, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, addiction, and depression.
