These drugs belong to a class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate blood glucose and promote substantial weight loss
The most obvious substitute for Ozempic in the UK is Wegovy, as its made by the same manufacturer using the same active ingredient (semaglutide), but its designed specifically for weight loss

The C18 fatty-diacid chain at Lys (with a Glu-Glu spacer) and the Aib substitution that blocks DPP-4 cleavage together produce a 7-day half-life, the longest of the three primary GLP-1 class research peptides
