In the UK, different GLP-1 receptor agonists have specific licensed indications: For type 2 diabetes : semaglutide (Ozempic), dulaglutide (Trulicity), and liraglutide (Victoza) For weight management : semaglutide 2.4mg (Wegovy) and liraglutide 3.0mg (Saxenda) NICE guideline NG28 recommends GLP-1 receptor agonists as treatment options for type 2 diabetes when first-line therapies have not achieved adequate glycaemic control
Semaglutide is currently not on the WADA Prohibited List, though GLP-1 agonists as a class have been added to the WADA Monitoring Program since 2024 as a step toward potential future inclusion

Key possibilities include: Deferring action: The FDA could put off any action on the peptides at issue
