Current manufacturing of Ozempic involves: Recombinant DNA technology : according to the SmPC, semaglutide is produced using recombinant DNA technology in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) cells [3] [14] Chemical synthesis : adding specific modifications, including the fatty acid side chain that extends the drug's half-life Purification processes : ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality and removing any impurities Quality control : rigorous testing to meet MHRA and international standards This manufacturing approach offers several advantages over extracting compounds from animal sources: Consistency : each batch is identical in composition and potency Scalability : production can meet global demand without relying on animal populations Safety : eliminates risks of contamination from biological sources The confusion about lizard origins is understandable given the historical connection, but it's important for patients to understand that taking Ozempic does not involve any lizard-derived ingredients in the final product
