Wegovy

• Brands Wegovy
• Product Code: Wegovy

• Wegovy is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (semaglutide) administered via a pre-filled injection pen once weekly. It works by reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying, leading to decreased calorie intake and sustained weight loss.

  The medication is approved for:

  • Adults (and individuals ≥ 12 years old) with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²), or those overweight (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m²) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea).

  • Adolescents (12 years and older) meeting BMI criteria and weight thresholds.

  • Adults with established cardiovascular disease (e.g., prior heart attack or stroke) who are obese or overweight, to lower the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

  In clinical trials up to 68 weeks, patients treated with Wegovy achieved an average weight loss of approximately 15–16%, compared with 5–6% in placebo groups. Additionally, up to 30% of patients lost 20% or more of their body weight, significantly outperforming placebo.

  Additional benefits observed include reductions in waist circumference, improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels — though increased resting heart rate was also noted in some cases.

  Common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature — including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and headache

  Recent regulatory updates include expanded approval to reduce cardiovascular risks in overweight or obese patients with cardiovascular disease, potentially qualifying many more for Medicare coverage.
