No, taking semaglutide (Wegovy or Ozempic) does not automatically disqualify you from blood donation
Some patients find injecting Ozempic at bedtime rather than morning helpful, though this is optional and not evidence-based

The dual approach to appetite suppression working through both hypothalamic GLP-1 receptors and brainstem amylin receptors provides more full control over food intake
