Wegovy is an injectable prescription medicine used for adults with obesity (BMI over 30) or excess weight (BMI over 27) who also have medical-related medical problems to help them lose weight and keep the weight off. Wegovy should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.
Wegovy works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This can help you eat less, which can lead to weight loss.
In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~35 lbs (or ~15% body weight). People taking a placebo lost an average of 6 lbs (or ~2.5% body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~232 lbs.
People respond to medicines differently, so there is no set time for when you can expect to see results. At your appointment, we can discuss what might be a realistic expectation for you.
Wegovy is taken once a week, any time of day, with or without food.
Yes, it’s recommended that you take Wegovy on the same day every week at a time that is most convenient for you.
