Wegovy (semaglutide) injection

1,199.94 SR

Reduce hunger and increase feelings of satiety.

The main ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. This means it mimics the action of the body’s natural hormones that regulate appetite and food intake. GLP-1 receptor agonists work by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness, leading to less food intake and therefore weight loss. Semaglutide is given by injection and is designed to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to manage obesity or overweight in adults with certain weight-related medical conditions.

Warnings

Wegovy comes with several warnings that users should be aware of. First, it has been linked to an increased risk of pancreatitis, so patients who experience severe abdominal pain should seek medical attention. Additionally, there is a potential risk of thyroid tumors, especially in people with a history of thyroid cancer or a genetic predisposition. Patients should also be wary of hypoglycemia, as Wegovy may lower blood sugar levels. Kidney function should be monitored regularly, especially in people with pre-existing kidney disease. Injection site reactions may occur, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare providers before using Wegovy due to its unknown effects in these populations.

While there are no specific dietary restrictions with Wegovy, it is recommended to follow a reduced-calorie diet as advised by your healthcare provider to enhance weight loss efforts.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Wegovy?

If you miss a dose of Wegovy, take it as soon as you remember, then continue with your regular dosing schedule. However, if it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

Can I switch to Wegovy if I am taking other weight loss medications?

Switching to Wegovy from other weight loss medications should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Here are some considerations:

**Review of Current Medications:** A member of our medical team will evaluate the medications you are currently taking to ensure there are no potential interactions or contraindications with Wegovy. This includes both prescription and nonprescription medications.

**Medical History Assessment:** Certain health conditions may impact your suitability for Wegovi. One of our doctors will evaluate your overall health, including any pre-existing conditions such as thyroid disorders, pancreatitis, or a history of severe gastrointestinal disease.

**Gradual transition:** If switching to Wegovy is appropriate, your doctor may suggest a gradual transition from your current medication to Wegovy to minimize any potential side effects or problems caused by a sudden change in treatment.

**Follow-up and Adjustments:** After switching, it is important to closely monitor how your body responds to Wegovi. Through regular follow-up appointments with our medical team, we may adjust your dose based on effectiveness and tolerability.

**Always consult your physician** before making any changes to your medication regimen to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your weight management strategy.
