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.

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
