Wegovy®

Wegovy is a prescription medication that can help you lose weight and manage your type 2 diabetes. It’s an easy-to-use once-weekly injection that works by regulating your blood sugar levels and reducing your appetite.

Wegovy is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone your body naturally produces to help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Wegovy works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, which helps to lower blood sugar levels and reduce appetite.

How does Wegovy work for weight loss?

Wegovy mimics the effects of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.
Wegovy works by slowing down the emptying of your stomach, keeping you feeling full for longer, and reducing your overall calorie intake.
Wegovy also signals to your brain to reduce your appetite and cravings, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet and achieve your weight loss goals.

Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain can all be uncomfortable side effects of some GLP-1s. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can impact your daily life.
