Wegovy is a prescription treatment containing semaglutide for weight management. The medicine can reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. The doctor will always assess first whether treatment is medically appropriate.
That’s why you choose WeightConsult
The BMI check provides an initial indication. A doctor will ultimately decide whether treatment is appropriate.
What is Wegovy?
Semaglutide may reduce appetite and food intake
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a substance that mimics the action of GLP-1. This hormonal signal plays a role in appetite, satiety and the body’s response to food.
As a result, some people may feel less hungry and feel full sooner. This can make it easier to consistently consume fewer calories.
Loss of appetite
Semaglutide affects signals in the brain that are involved in hunger and food intake.
Filled up earlier
Feeling fuller for longer or more intensely can help you eat smaller portions.
Support with weight loss
If energy intake falls on a sustained basis, body weight may decrease.
Use and structure
Wegovy is being built up step by step
Wegovy is injected once a week. The official dosage regimen starts low and is then gradually increased, to allow the body time to get used to semaglutide.
The dosage and rate of increase are tailored to the treatment plan. This is general product information and does not constitute personalised dosage advice.
