What is Wegovy™?
Wegovy™ is a once-weekly prescription medicine for adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (excess weight) (BMI ≥27) who also have weight-related medical problems to help them lose weight and keep it off. Wegovy™ should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity. See full indication.
Be sure to read the Instructions for Use that comes with Wegovy™ and to use Wegovy™ exactly as your health care provider tells you to.
Wegovy™ is taken once a week on the same day, any time of day, with or without food. It comes in a pen that features:
- One-time use only: Use a new pen every time
- Preset dose: The dose is already set on your pen
- Hidden needle: The needle is covered and won’t be seen

We prescribe medications called GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1s) because research shows that, in combination with coaching, GLP-1s are the most effective and safe long-term option for weight loss.

WITH BIOLOGY
In your body, GLP-1s are powerful hormones made by your gut that send signals to your brain to decrease your appetite, improve your metabolic function, and regulate your digestion so you can feel full longer and maximize nutrient absorption. Research suggests that people who hold onto more weight experience reductions in GLP-1 signaling.
The GLP-1 medications that we prescribe work on the same receptors as your natural GLP-1 hormones. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, the FDA has approved the use of a brand of GLP-1s for weight loss in people without type 2 diabetes.
