Frequently asked questions
How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy contains the active ingredient semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone that supresses appetite and increases the feeling of fullness after eating. This makes people eat less, which in turn can lead to weight loss.
Who is eligible for Wegovy?
The injectable prescription medication Wegovy is used to treat people who are overweight or obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
It is also prescribed to people with a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular diseases.
Wegovy, also known as semaglutide, is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used by people with certain medication conditions, such as a kidney or liver disease, or by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Side effects
The most common side effects of Wegovy are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, stomachache, headache, dizziness, tiredness, changes in taste sensations, a general feeling of being unwell (malaise), and injection site reactions. These symptoms are usually mild and generally go away within a few weeks.
Serious side effects, such as pancreatitis, gallbladder disease and kidney problems, can occur while taking Wegovy, but they are rare.
How often and how long should Wegovy be used?
Wegovy is injected once a week. The duration of treatment varies per person. Most people use Wegovy for one year or longer. How long Wegovy is used depends on each person’s individual weight loss goals, and should be determined by a doctor.
Are Wegovy and Ozempic the same?
Yes, Wegovy and Ozempic share the same active ingredient: semaglutide. However, they have been approved for use for different purposes. Wegovy is specifically indicated for the treatment of overweight and obesity, while Ozempic is indicated for managing type 2 diabetes.
