Product Overview

Wegovy (semaglutide)

  • What is Wegovy (semaglutide)?
    Wegovy is an injectable prescription medication that is used to treat obesity and overweight in individuals with weight-related medical problems such as high blood pressure (hypertension), type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide, which belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It decreases your body’s blood glucose levels and increases its response to the hormone insulin to get your type 2 diabetes under control. Not only does semaglutide help manage blood sugar levels, but it can also help patients with type 2 diabetes reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. It is also sometimes prescribed to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

    Wegovy is prescribed in conjunction with other treatment measures such as exercise and a low-fat, low-calorie diet to help patients lose weight and prevent serious complications caused by obesity. Wegovy is prescribed in the form of liquid which is injected subcutaneously (under the skin). Other brand names for semaglutide include Ozempic, which is also a subcutaneous injection, and Rybelsus, which is prescribed in the form of an oral tablet.

Frequently asked questions about Wegovy

What is Wegovy (semaglutide)?

Wegovy is an injectable prescription medication that is used to treat obesity and overweight in individuals with weight-related medical problems such as high blood pressure (hypertension), type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol. Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide, which belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It decreases your body’s blood glucose levels and increases its response to the hormone insulin to get your type 2 diabetes under control. Not only does semaglutide help manage blood sugar levels, but it can also help patients with type 2 diabetes reduce their risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. It is also sometimes prescribed to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Wegovy is prescribed in conjunction with other treatment measures such as exercise and a low-fat, low-calorie diet to help patients lose weight and prevent serious complications caused by obesity. Wegovy is prescribed in the form of liquid which is injected subcutaneously (under the skin). Other brand names for semaglutide include Ozempic, which is also a subcutaneous injection, and Rybelsus, which is prescribed in the form of an oral tablet.

What is Wegovy (semaglutide) used to treat?

Wegovy is prescribed as a weight-loss treatment for patients with weight-related health problems, like high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. It is also prescribed as a weight-loss treatment for obese children 12 years of age and up. Wegovy helps to control blood sugar levels; when blood sugar levels become too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia), it can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, eye damage, nerve damage, and skin conditions, among other complications. Wegovy also mimics a hormone in your gut that controls how fast food moves through it. Wegovy slows down this movement, which means that you typically feel more full for longer and have a decreased appetite.

It’s important to note that Wegovy is not a cure for weight loss or diabetes; it only helps to control those conditions and should be prescribed along with a healthy diet and exercise.

How does Wegovy (semaglutide) work?

Wegovy is classified as an incretin mimetic, a category of antidiabetes medication that acts like incretin hormones (hormones released by the pancreas to stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels). Wegovy binds to incretin receptors, performing the same action as incretin hormones – essentially stimulating the release of glucose-dependent insulin. This helps your body metabolize blood sugar, which keeps glucose levels in check.

Incretin hormones also impact how fast food is moving through your gut, so Wegovy is able to slow down how fast food leaves your stomach when it mimics those hormones. This can decrease appetite and aid in weight loss.

What are the common side effects of Wegovy (semaglutide)?

Wegovy has been shown to cause some mild side effects. If these adverse effects do not go away within a few days, talk to your healthcare provider. Common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Constipation
  • Decreased appetite
  • Heartburn
  • Burping

This is not a complete list of possible adverse effects.

If you experience an unexplained rash, swelling, stomach pain, difficulty breathing, decreased urination, changes in vision, or itchy skin while taking Wegovy, seek medical attention immediately. These are early signs of a potentially serious adverse reaction to the medication reaction.

Talk to your healthcare provider about any medication you are currently taking, or any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with before starting treatment with Wegovy.

What is the typical starting dose of Wegovy (semaglutide)?

Wegovy comes in the form of a prefilled injection pen which you inject subcutaneously (under the skin) once a week. However, you should take the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue or increase your Wegovy dosage without consulting your provider first. If you begin to experience adverse side effects while taking this medication, like those listed above, inform your provider right away.

You should store your medication in its original carton under refrigerated condition between 2 and 8 degrees C (36 and 46 degrees F). If necessary, prior to cap removal, the pen may be stored between 8 and 30 degrees C (46 and 86 degrees F) for up to 28 days. Keep your medication away from extreme heat, extreme cold, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of the reach of children.
