Weight You Can Lose with Wegovy | Wegovy Side Effects | Frequently Asked Questions

What is Wegovy and What Can it Treat?


Wegovy received FDA approval to treat obesity in 2021. Most adults with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 can use the medication with a doctor's prescription.

The medication is safe for non-diabetics because it does not contain insulin. It simply simulates digestive substances. The body creates and secretes hormones that spur certain cells to action. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a naturally produced substance that the digestive tract releases to control appetite and digestion.

How Does Wegovy Work?


Naturally produced GLP-1 has a short lifespan. Wegovy is molecularly similar to the substance yet longer lasting. It binds to the cells, telling the body the stomach is full. The medication also interacts with the central nervous system, triggering the hypothalamus to suppress appetite. This action leads to smaller portions and less eating between meals. Wegovy also slows digestion, leaving the stomach fuller for longer to prolong the sense of satiety.

As a result, patients consume fewer calories. Reducing caloric intake is essential for weight loss because your body burns fat when it needs more energy than it consumes.

How Does Wegovy Work?

How Much Weight Can You Lose with Wegovy?


The amount of weight loss you achieve will depend on your starting weight and dose of Wegovy. One high-quality trial found that patients taking a 2.4 mg dose of semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight after 68 weeks.

The caloric deficit you experience will dictate the rate and extent of your weight loss. Wegovy helps lower food consumption, while exercise increases your total number of calories burned. The medication, in conjunction with lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, and consistent physical activity, will enable you to maximize your weight loss.

How to Get a Wegovy Prescription Online


Telehealth services are a well-established and effective tool for diagnosing and treating patients. Experienced weight loss doctors can conduct an online consultation with you to assess your needs and eligibility for prescription medications. You can easily book a convenient appointment regardless of your location.

The consultation will entail an analysis of your medical history and assessment of your BMI. It will also cover what to expect from a medically managed weight loss program. The doctor will ask about your weight loss goals and explain how Wegovy works. Being forthcoming with them will ensure they rule out possible complications that could make Wegovy ineffective or unsafe for you.

Once the doctor determines you are free of contraindications and that Wegovy can help you lose excess weight, they will prescribe the medication. You can then pick it up at your local pharmacy and begin your treatment. Your healthcare provider will conduct routine follow-ups to assess your progress and response to the treatment.

These appointments allow the provider to advise you about diet and exercise, ensure your weight loss is occurring at a healthy rate, and assess possible side effects. This collaborative approach to weight loss leverages the effectiveness of the medication with lifestyle modifications that can maximize its benefits while boosting your overall health.

How to Take Wegovy


Wegovy is a weekly self-administered injectable that you can inject into your thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. The device uses a small needle, and the medication is pre-dosed, making self-administration safe and easy. Your doctor will advise you on sterilization and technique to ensure your safety.

Medications work by accumulating in your system until you reach a medicated dose of the compound they contain. Adhering to your prescribed injection schedule will maximize your weight loss and reduce your risk of side effects.

Wegovy Side Effects


Your doctor will start you on a low dose of Wegovy and gradually build it up to allow your body to adjust to the medication. All medications carry some risk of side effects, though. Their extent and severity will vary from person to person. The most common side effects of Wegovy are:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Belching, bloating, and gas
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Fatigue
  • Headache and dizziness
  • Heartburn
  • Nausea
  • Runny nose and sore throat
  • Stomach flu
  • Vomiting

Frequently Asked Question

While several weight loss pills are currently on the market, few, if any, function as effectively as Wegovy. Novo Nordisk, who manufactures Wegovy, offers a semaglutide tablet to treat type-2 diabetes. A similar drug is pending approval as an obesity treatment and may be on the market by early 2024.

The out-of-pocket cost without insurance can be over $1,000. You may qualify for the financial assistance program offered by the manufacturer. Prices are high due to limited availability of the medication and high demand from patients.

Wegovy is one of the few weight loss medications covered by insurance because the treatment has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The cost is subject to your insurance plan's prescription drug benefit, though. Doctors prescribe most alternative drugs off-label, disqualifying them from insurance coverage.

Meeting with a doctor to ensure you qualify for Wegovy and contacting your health insurance provider to review your coverage will help you estimate the cost of your prescription.

Yes. Wegovy is FDA-approved to treat obesity. This designation means the medication has proven safe and effective in rigorous clinical trials. Wegovy is recommended for adults with BMIs over 30 and adults who have BMIs over 27 as well as a weight-related medical problem like hypertension.

High-sugar and high-fat foods may cause gastric distress while you take Wegovy. Modifying your diet can help you minimize side effects. It is also best to reduce alcohol consumption while taking Wegovy because it can spike your blood sugar.

Most adults begin with a 0.25 mg dose of Wegovy for four weeks. Doctors then incrementally raise the level to 2.4 mg over the next 13 weeks. This gradual escalation allows the body to adjust to the medication, minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. Weight loss is often rapid once you reach your optimal dose.

No—Wegovy is an FDA-regulated substance and is only available with a prescription from a licensed physician. Non-medical weight loss clinics or vendors marketing Wegovy over-the-counter are selling a different product or have obtained the medication without following regulatory and safety standards.

The only safe way to treat obesity using Wegovy is by using medication ordered by a doctor and supplied by a pharmacy.

Ozempic and Wegovy are both forms of semaglutide, but only Wegovy is an FDA-approved weight loss treatment. Wegovy is available in higher doses than Ozempic, and many insurance companies cover it for obese patients. Doctors prescribe Ozempic off-label for weight loss because it is only FDA-approved to treat diabetes.
