Description
Wegovy®, a brand name for semaglutide, is an injectable drug that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. Wegovy® helps individuals lose weight and keep it off and can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. Wegovy® works when used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
The rate of weight loss and the amount varies depending on your starting weight, adherence to the program, and specific medications used. GLP-1 medications have been shown to, on average, help individuals lose 15% of their weight in a year.2
Weight loss injections, such as those containing GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, work by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These injections slow gastric emptying and increase feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss.
