Wegovy (same drug, same company, just different branding to Ozempic) is approved for weight control in non-diabetics: https://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/html/h1608.htm

Yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaglutide

Wegovy is approved for people with obesity, or genetics that lead to obesity. It's also not a general purpose weight loss product, it's for people who can't control their weight without medication.
