Can any tell me the difference between Metformin and Ozempic? I’m being told that Metformin IS NOT a generic of Ozempic, but it seems to do the same thing??

Metformin is an oral med that impacts blood sugar by reducing the amount of sugar absorbed from food and reduces glucose stored in the liver. It basically regulates your body’s insulin response.

Ozempic is a newer class of injectable drug which also impacts insulin response, making your body less receptive to insulin spikes.

You are right that it is somewhat the same as Metformin in terms of outcomes but it operates on GLP receptors in the pancreas whereas metformin, from what I understand, targets the liver.

Very different drugs.

Ozempic affects your hunger triggers whereas metformin doesn’t. Ozempic slows down gastric emptying (need to poop) so you’re left feeling full much longer. Metformin doesn’t affect your appetite it just helps body reduce the amount of sugar your body absorbs
