What is Semaglutide (Wegovy)?
Semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy for weight management, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the hormone GLP-1, which is naturally released after eating. This helps regulate appetite by making you feel fuller sooner and for longer, reducing overall food intake.
Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection and is clinically proven to help patients achieve significant and sustained weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
