Quick Answer
Yes. Semaglutide — sold as Ozempic and Wegovy — is a peptide, and so is tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). They are GLP-1 receptor agonists: peptide medications that are fully FDA-approved with large clinical trials behind them. That puts them in a different evidence and regulatory category from the compounded peptides marketed for recovery or anti-ageing. At Good Health NC these are prescribed through our medical weight loss program.
