Semaglutide is the active ingredient in several prescription medications used for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. Doctors On Site connects Ontario patients with licensed physicians who assess eligibility and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe an approved semaglutide-based treatment with ongoing support.
Book a Physician Assessment →Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — the active ingredient in brand-name medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. The term “generic semaglutide” is sometimes used to refer to non-brand versions of the molecule. Availability and regulatory status of non-brand semaglutide vary in Canada, and Health Canada has cautioned about compounded versions. A licensed physician can explain which approved, regulated options are appropriate for you.
Doctors On Site physicians commonly assess patients seen through our programs, including:
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a hormone released after eating. It helps regulate blood sugar and appetite, which can support glucose control and a feeling of fullness. Approved semaglutide medications are typically administered as a once-weekly injection. A physician determines whether it is clinically appropriate and which product to prescribe.
