Description

What is Wegovy^®?

Wegovy is a prescription medication developed by Novo Nordisk, primarily used for weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, Wegovy can be purchased in Gibraltar, at Calpe Pharmacy. It’s active ingredient is semaglutide, the same active ingredient found in Ozempic. While semaglutide has been used in diabetes treatment. Wegovy, specifically targets weight loss and is prescribed in higher doses than Ozempic.

Wegovy is classified as a GLP-1 receptor agonist (glucagon-like peptide-1), a class of drugs that work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar and appetite by stimulating insulin secretion in response to meals, reducing glucagon (which prevents the liver from releasing too much glucose), and slowing gastric emptying. These effects help patients feel full longer, leading to reduced calorie intake. For people with obesity or overweight, this can result in significant weight loss.

How to use Wegovy?

The medication is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, usually in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. Over time, Wegovy has shown impressive results in clinical trials, with many users losing 15% or more of their total body weight, making it one of the most effective weight-loss medications available. This level of weight reduction can lead to significant improvements in associated health conditions, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, improving blood sugar control, and alleviating pressure on joints.

Common side effects of Wegovy include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting, particularly when starting treatment. These side effects typically subside as the body adjusts to the medication. More serious risks include the potential for thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, or kidney issues, although these are rare. Wegovy is not suitable for everyone, particularly people with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or pancreatitis.

Overall, Wegovy offers a promising treatment option for those struggling with obesity or overweight, particularly when lifestyle changes alone haven’t been enough. It’s important for patients to use Wegovy under the guidance of a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective weight management.
