Wegovy, contains Semaglutide, is a medicine which has been officially licensed in many countries, including the UK, as a medicine to aid excess weight loss. 

It is only suitable when the excess weight is to the extent that makes it justifiable to get help from such medicines and only after a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. 

Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic brands) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound brands) belong to the same family of medicines known as Glucagon-Like Peptides type-1 (GLP-1) analogues which have been used for regulating plasma sugar levels in type-2 diabetes for over a decade. Due to their longer duration of actions, their doses are given by self-injection on a weekly basis. 

Wegovy (Semaglutide) is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) and you are required to complete an online consultation at My Private Pharmacist so the prescriber can assess the safety and suitability of the treatment options for you.  

What is Wegovy (Semaglutide) Flextouch Injection?

The active ingredient in Wegovy is Semaglutide aides weight loss by helping you feel fuller, less hungry and cravings, resulting in improved control of eating habits and calorie intake. As a result you will consume less calorie per day and over time this  accumulation of calorie deficit will result in weight loss. 

Semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic brands) is a synthetic version of the naturally occurring hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 plays an important role in regulating appetite and calorie intake. After eating, GLP-1 is released from the gut to help regulate your blood sugar levels and reduce the amount of glucagon in your body. As a result, it slows down the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel fuller for longer.

How does Wegovy help me lose excess weight?

Wegovy could be considered for weight loss if you are obese, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30kg/m2; or overweight (have a BMI of over 27kg/m2) and have other weight-related health conditions such as type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, sleep apnoea, high cholesterol, etc. 

You must always try to initially manage your weight by means of increasing your physical activities (e.g. exercise), balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices (e.g. reducing alcohol consumption) before considering the use of any medicines. 

Wegovy (Semaglutide) is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) and you are required to complete an online consultation at My Private Pharmacist so our prescriber can assess the safety and appropriateness of the treatment options for you.
