Mikhail Varshavski: “Ozempic and Wegovy, for example, they're medications that…”

“So is it the same sort of medication or it's just the one aspect of it. It's the same medication. So this is what's interesting that most people don't realize is Ozempic and Wegovy, for example, they're medications that are used for slightly different indications. Wegovy is a weight loss medication. Ozempic is to treat type 2 diabetes. They both cause weight loss. Why it's the same ingredient? It's like marketing acetaminophen, which is the main ingredient in Tylenol. And I can call it on one hand Mike's fever reducer, and the main ingredient is acetaminophen.” (1:08:02–1:08:12)
