What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription medication that contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Ozempic, but specifically approved for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions. It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a natural reduction in calorie intake. Clinical studies have shown that
Wegovy can lead to significant and sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. In addition to weight loss, Wegovy may improve metabolic health, reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It may also help reduce inflammation and improve overall cardiovascular health.
