Wegovy Weight Loss Injection

What Is Wegovy injection?

Wegovy injection is a prescription medication designed to aid in weight loss for individuals dealing with obesity or being overweight. The active ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide, belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. By mimicking a natural hormone in the body, that regulates hunger and appetite, Wegovy helps reduce calorie intake and promotes weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

How does Wegovy work?

Wegovy mimics the effects of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a natural hormone that regulates hunger and appetite. It slows stomach emptying, helping you feel full longer, and targets the brain's hunger centers to reduce cravings and control appetite. By lowering calorie intake, Wegovy supports consistent and sustainable weight loss, especially for those who have struggled with diet and exercise alone.
