Wegovy is a semaglutide, Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonist. Mimics the GLP-1 hormone, targeting the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness (satiety), and slows gastric emptying.
Wegovy is used to help with weight loss and maintain weight loss long-term in patients with obesity or who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems. Wegovy works by reducing appetite and slowing the gut down, so you eat less, which results in weight loss and helps with weight management. Wegovy is also used to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death in adults with cardiovascular disease who are obese or overweight.
clinical trials have shown that patients may lose up to 15% of their body weight over 12 months when semaglutide is used alongside healthy lifestyle changes.
Usage
Subcutaneous injection, once weekly. Doses are titrated (gradually increased) over 16 weeks, starting at 0.25 mg, to a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg.
Dosage
Wegovy is taken in increasing doses over several weeks. You’ll start with a dose of 0.25mg, which increases every four weeks until you reach the maximum dose of 2.4mg. The normal dosing schedule is as follows:
