Wegovy™ (semaglutide) is an appetite reducer delivered as an injectable prescription medication administered in a prefilled single-dose pen. The drug works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. This can help reduce your appetite, so you consume less food/calories, leading to weight loss. It is recommended to be used in conjunction with exercise and a low-calorie diet.
The active drug in Wegovy is semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1receptor agonist—a class of medications used to treat obesity as well as type 2 diabetes. The Wegovy (semaglutide) weight-loss method is designed for people who have a BMI (body mass index) ≥30 or a BMI ≥27 and also struggle with weight-related problems such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
