Description
What Is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription treatment designed to support weight loss and long-term weight management. It helps reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and curb cravings, making it easier to eat less and maintain healthier habits.
Active Ingredient
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Studies have shown that semaglutide can lead to greater weight loss when combined with professional weight-management support compared with lifestyle support alone.
How Wegovy Works
- Reduces appetite: Helps you feel less hungry and lowers calorie intake.
- Increases fullness: Slows the rate food leaves the stomach, helping you stay satisfied longer.
- Supports blood sugar balance: Encourages insulin release and reduces glucagon levels when needed.
Who Can Use Wegovy?
- Adults with a BMI of 30 or above (obesity)
- Adults with a BMI of 27 or above (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol

Treatment begins with 0.25mg once weekly for four weeks, then increased step by step: 0.5mg → 1mg → 1.7mg → 2.4mg (maintenance dose). Each dose level is used for four weeks before moving to the next.
Wegovy is a once-weekly injection given under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, taken with or without food.
