💊 What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription weight loss medication approved by the MHRA for adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions. It's the same active ingredient as Ozempic, but formulated specifically for weight management at higher doses.

🔬 How Wegovy Works for Weight Loss
Wegovy works in several ways to help you lose weight and maintain weight loss:
- Reduces Appetite: Acts on areas of the brain that regulate appetite, helping you feel less hungry
- Increases Fullness: Helps you feel satisfied with smaller portions of food
- Slows Digestion: Delays stomach emptying, keeping you fuller for longer
- Regulates Blood Sugar: Improves glucose control, which can help reduce cravings
Wegovy mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) that your body produces after eating. By enhancing this natural process, Wegovy helps control hunger and food intake more effectively.
📅 Wegovy Dosing Schedule
Treatment follows a gradual dose escalation schedule to minimize side effects:
Important: Never skip the dose escalation schedule. Each step helps your body adjust and minimizes side effects like nausea. Your prescriber may adjust the schedule based on your individual response.
