Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a prescription GLP-1 receptor agonist used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related medical conditions. It helps reduce appetite, control food intake, and support significant, clinically proven weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, offering a convenient dosing schedule for long-term weight management.
Wegovy mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. It increases feelings of fullness, slows gastric emptying, and reduces calorie consumption, helping patients achieve and maintain weight loss over time.
Wegovy is a prescription medication intended for long-term weight management and should be used under medical supervision. It is not a quick-fix or cosmetic weight loss solution.
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite, especially during dose escalation.
