Injectable GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatment
Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate your appetite and food intake.
Wegovy is highly effective in helping many individuals establish consistent eating habits and achieve a healthy weight. It works in several ways:
Controls Appetite
Wegovy works by activating brain regions associated with appetite control.
Helps With Healthy Eating
Less cravings means you can control what you eat much easier and good habits of eating healthily.
Feel fuller for longer
It slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, so you feel fuller for longer.
How to Take Wegovy
Wegovy is injected once weekly in the arm, leg or abdomen. They are self-administered at home with a very small, fine needle for a near-painless injection just below the surface of the skin.
It is started off on the lowest dose, at 0.25mg and slowly increased over a 16-week period to 2.4mg. Slowly increasing the strength lowers the chance of you experiencing any gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea.
How Much Weight Could I Lose?
In a 68 week medical study, it was found that adults on average lost 15% of their weight vs the group that was not on the medicine (they lost on average 2.5%)
By the end of the study, 30% of people taking Wegovy lost 20% or more of their weight compared to only 2% of those not on the medicine.
