Wegovy
About this product

Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that contains semaglutide. It is licensed specifically for weight management and is used alongside healthy eating and regular physical activity. Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite. It reduces hunger and helps you feel full for longer, which can make it easier to manage portion sizes and reduce cravings over time.

How to use
Treatment usually starts at a lower dose and increases gradually. This helps your body adjust and can reduce the chance of side effects. Wegovy is only supplied following an online consultation and clinical assessment to check suitability.

 

Main Ingredients

Wegovy contains semaglutide as the active ingredient. The other ingredients include disodium phosphate dihydrate, sodium chloride, water for injections, and pH adjusters. These help keep the medicine stable and suitable for injection.

Side Effects & Cautions

Some people experience side effects when starting Wegovy or increasing the dose. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, reduced appetite, and stomach discomfort. These often improve as your body gets used to the medicine.

Less common but more serious side effects can occur. If you experience severe or ongoing abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, signs of dehydration, or anything that concerns you, you should seek medical advice promptly.

Wegovy is not suitable for everyone. It may not be appropriate if you have a history of pancreatitis, certain digestive conditions, or specific endocrine disorders. It should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
