What is Wegovy and how does it work?
Wegovy is an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication containing semaglutide. It mimics your body’s natural GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, regulate food intake, and support long-term weight management when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Who is eligible for Wegovy treatment?
You may be eligible if your BMI is 30 or higher, or 27+ with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or PCOS. Final eligibility is determined after a clinical review by a Wellcore provider.
What kind of results can I expect with Wegovy?
Clinical studies show that patients may lose 15% or more of their body weight over time with consistent use, combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased activity. Results vary, but most patients see gradual, meaningful progress over several months.
How is Wegovy taken?
Wegovy is a once-weekly injection administered just under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). Most patients start at a low dose and gradually increase over several weeks to minimize side effects and support optimal outcomes.
What are the common side effects of Wegovy?
Temporary side effects may include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, headache, or fatigue—especially during the dose escalation phase. These often improve as your body adjusts, and your provider can offer tips to manage them.
Can I use Wegovy with other weight loss medications?
No. Wegovy should not be combined with other GLP-1 medications or products containing semaglutide. Always inform your provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking so they can ensure safe, effective care.
Important Safety Information
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and food intake. It should not be used with other GLP-1 medications or products containing semaglutide.
