Wegovy
Wegovy is an injectable weight-loss medication for overweight adults or adults with obesity. It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which mimics a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps to regulate your blood sugar levels, & also sends signals to receptors in your brain that manage your appetite, allowing you to feel fuller for longer. Wegovy is prescribed to be taken just once a week alongside a diet & exercise plan to help you lose weight. Taken as prescribed, it can help you lose up to 15% of your starting weight.
