How Does Wegovy Work?

Wegovy’s active ingredient, semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that:

• Imitates natural appetite-regulating hormones, helping you feel fuller longer.
• Slows stomach emptying, reducing calorie intake and cravings.
• Promotes effective and sustainable weight loss when paired with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

The 2.4 mg dose is the therapeutic maintenance level that ensures long-term results and weight stability.

How to Use Wegovy

• Administration: Inject once weekly using the pre-filled pen.
• Injection Sites: Abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites each week.
