Wegovy

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Where can I buy Wegovy?

You can buy Wegovy from online services and pharmacies, provided you have a prescription for it from a doctor.

Q: How much does Wegovy cost?

The cost of Wegovy can vary depending on several factors, including your location, your insurance coverage and the pharmacy rate. Some insurance providers cover the entire cost of Wegovy or part of it.

Q: 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.

About Wegovy

Medicine for weight loss
Reduces appetite
Solution for injection in pre-filled pen
Do not use while pregnant or breastfeeding

Each FlexTouch pen contains four doses. Each pack of Wegovy, regardless of dosage strength, contains one pre-filled pen and four disposable NovoFine Plus needles (1 pen = 4 doses).

Wegovy is a medication that contains the active ingredient Semaglutide. It is used to assist with weight management in adults who are overweight or obese and have weight-related medical problems. Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone that helps regulate appetite and food intake. It can help you feel full sooner, eat less food, and reduce your cravings, leading to weight loss. Wegovy is suitable for adults with a high BMI (body mass index) who are looking to lose weight and improve their overall health.

Dosage and usage

You should inject Wegovy once a week, on the same day each week. The recommended starting dose is 0.25 mg injected under the skin. Your healthcare provider may increase this to 2.4 mg once a week based on your response to the medication. Remember not to change your dose unless instructed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's less than 3 days until your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and take the next one on your usual day. If you take too much Wegovy, seek medical advice immediately.

The manufacturer of Wegovy is:

Novo Nordisk A/S

It is quick and efficient and cost is reasonable. For repeat prescriptions of a pretty low level drug it would be better still to allow more than one months worth of pills at a time.
