How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy contains semaglutide and mimics the action of the body’s own hormone, GLP-1. The medicine has been developed for weight management and primarily influences processes relating to appetite, satiety and food intake.
Less hunger
Semaglutide affects areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite.
Greater satiety
You may feel full sooner and for longer, which can lead to a reduction in your overall food intake.
Support with weight loss
When combined with a balanced diet and increased physical activity, this can lead to significant weight loss.
Wegovy is authorised for weight management in adults who meet the medical criteria. A doctor will assess whether this is appropriate for you.
Dosage & administration
How is Wegovy put together?
Wegovy is administered in a step-by-step manner. The gradual increase helps the body get used to semaglutide and is intended to minimise gastrointestinal side effects during the build-up phase.
Once a weekIf side effects occur, your doctor may decide to adjust the dosage schedule or to continue on a lower dose for longer. Always follow your personal prescription.
