Wegovy®

Wegovy® is an FDA-approved prescription medication that contains semaglutide. It is designed to help regulate appetite, reduce food intake, and support sustained weight loss when used alongside healthy lifestyle habits. Wegovy® works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone your body naturally produces to signal fullness and slow gastric emptying. This action helps reduce hunger, limit cravings, and support steady, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision. Wegovy® is available by prescription only and should be used as directed by a licensed healthcare provider.

Your treatment will arrive with personalized instructions and a complete guide on how to use it. Most users start low and gradually increase their dose to help the body adjust. It only requires one injection per week, using a tiny needle, most say they barely feel it. Together with your assigned doctor from &you, you’ll decide the most effective maintenance dose to help you safely reach your weight goals.

Some people begin noticing changes within the first 4 weeks. Clinical studies show that patients using semaglutide lost an average of around 15 percent of their body weight. Research also suggests many are able to maintain their results long-term when treatment is continued alongside healthy habits. While lifestyle changes still matter, Wegovy® helps regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and slow digestion, allowing the medication to support consistent progress over time. In clinical trials lasting 68 weeks, adults without diabetes and with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition, lost an average of approximately 15 percent of body weight when semaglutide was combined with diet and exercise, compared to approximately 2.4 percent with lifestyle changes alone.

The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve as your body adjusts to treatment, especially when doses are increased gradually.
