wegovy injection site

Wegovy (semaglutide) is an injectable medication used for weight management in adults who are obese or overweight and have at least one weight-related medical condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). It's a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called GLP-1 that regulates appetite and food intake.

Wegovy is typically administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection. It's important to note that Wegovy is not a standalone solution for weight loss but rather a part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

As with any medication, there can be potential side effects and contraindications, so it's essential to discuss with a healthcare provider whether Wegovy is appropriate for you and to follow their guidance closely if prescribed.
