Wegovy

Wegovy (semaglutide) is an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist used for chronic weight management. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and food intake, helping reduce hunger, increase fullness, and lower overall calorie consumption.

It is typically prescribed for adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Wegovy is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to achieve sustainable weight loss results.

The medication is administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection, with gradually increasing doses to improve tolerance and minimize side effects.
