Wegovy is an injectable prescription medicine used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. It contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and calorie intake.
In clinical trials, Wegovy helped patients lose an average of 15% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes. The medication follows a carefully structured dose escalation schedule to help your body adjust and minimize side effects.
Wegovy is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).
Wegovy treatment begins with a 4-week dose escalation period, starting at 0.25mg and stepping up the dose every 4 weeks before reaching the maintenance dose of 2.5mg weekly. This gradual increase helps minimize side effects.
Wegovy is a prescription-only medication. You'll need to complete a consultation with one of our healthcare professionals to determine if it's suitable for you.
