What is Wegovy®?
Wegovy® is a weight loss medication containing semaglutide as its active ingredient. It is administered through a weekly injection, designed to aid in weight loss.
When used in conjunction with a healthy, calorie-restricted diet and increased physical activity, Wegovy® is considered an effective weight loss solution. This self-administered injection, given once a week (pending clinical suitability), offers a convenient and efficient approach.
Having received approval in the UK, Wegovy® will soon be accessible.
How does Wegovy® work?
Wegovy® work by reducing appetite and controlling food consumption. Semaglutide, the active ingredient, controls the role of a hormone responsible for appetite regulation, resulting in prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced hunger.
This can facilitate a reduction in overall food intake, potentially leading to weight loss. Wegovy® is most effective when integrated into a lifestyle that includes healthier dietary choices and increased physical activity.
In fact, approximately 85% of users achieved a weight loss of at least 5% when combining Wegovy® with lifestyle changes, compared to just 40% achieving the same level of weight loss without such modification.

What are the benefits of Wegovy®?
- Like the daily injection Saxenda, reduces appetite by mimicking an intestinal hormone (Glucagon-Like Peptide 1, or GLP-1) which helps you to feel more satisfied after meals.
- Unlike Saxenda, only needs to be injected once a week, making it more convenient.
- Reduces portion size by slowing the speed at which food leaves your stomach.
- Helps to regulate blood sugar control, which can help with hunger between meals.
- In combination with a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise, resulted in patients in clinical trials losing 15% of their body weight in a year (compared with 2.5% in the group taking a placebo). This is nearly double the weight loss achieved in the clinical trials for Saxenda.
- In the clinical trials, 8 out of 10 people lost at least 5% of their body weight. There is good evidence to suggest that 5% weight loss results in improvements to health.
