Patient-Friendly Explanation

Wegovy is a once-weekly injection prescribed for weight management. It helps control appetite and food cravings so you can follow a healthier eating plan more easily.

Clinical Definition

Wegovy is a formulation of semaglutide 2.4 mg approved for chronic weight management. It is indicated for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater, or 27 kg/m2 or greater with at least one weight-related comorbidity. It is a prescription-only medicine.

Why It Matters

Wegovy represents one of the most effective pharmacotherapy options for medical weight management, but it requires a doctor’s prescription and should be used alongside lifestyle changes.
