What is Wegovy?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy, a prescription-only weight-loss medication.

This injection is used by people who are obese or overweight to reduce the risk of weight-related health conditions.

Wegovy has recently been approved in the UK, following approval in the USA in 2021.

What is Semaglutide medication?

Semaglutide is the name of the drug in Wegovy. Wegovy is the brand name.

Medicines often have more than one name – a drug name, which is the medicine’s active ingredient, and a brand name. The manufacturer chooses the brand name to help with marketing. Usually, the brand name is easier to pronounce than the drug name.

Semaglutide is also the drug in Ozempic, which is only used to treat diabetes in the UK.

The drug name is also often called the generic name.

How does Wegovy work?

This weight loss treatment works to increase fullness and reduce hunger. It mimics a hormone that targets brain areas involved in regulating appetite (hunger) and blood sugar. This can help you eat less and lead to losing weight. This medicine should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

It has been proven to be a successful weight loss aid by reducing hunger and increasing fullness.

According to clinical trials, this weight-loss injection can cause you to lose up to 15% of your starting body weight over a year.

Who can use Wegovy?

These pens can be used by adults aged 18-74 with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or those with weight-related health conditions like diabetes if their BMI is over 27.

The injections may react with some medications or may not be suitable for people with certain conditions.

Who should not take Wegovy?

Do not use if:

• you are allergic to semaglutide or any of the other ingredients in this medicine
• you are pregnant or breastfeeding
• you are under 18 years of age

You must let your doctor know if you have any of the following conditions before using this medicine:

• Kidney problems
• Inflammation of the pancreas
• Diabetes
• Low blood sugar
• Diabetic eye disease

Why am I not losing weight on Wegovy?

If this medicine isn’t working for you, there is likely a reason. These are the common ones.

Although weight loss injectables such as these pre-filled pens have transformed weight management for many, they are not magic and do not work alone. This is why you must make sure you’re eating a reduced-calorie diet and increasing your physical activity.

Consider the following before stopping this medicine because you’re not losing weight or only losing very slowly:

How long you have been using Wegovy

Wegovy starts to show its effects after a few weeks of starting the medicine. During this time, your body is also adjusting to the treatment, and it can take up to three months to see positive results.

Everyone is different, and the time it takes for the treatment to work will vary. We advise continuing with treatment for at least three months and then reviewing.

Side effects

With any medicine, there is a chance you can get side effects. With Wegovy, it is expected to experience some (but not all) side effects in the early weeks of treatment. These often present as stomach issues, such as nausea, diarrhoea or constipation. However, these side effects usually reduce and stop after the first few weeks of treatment.

Eating habits

Even though semaglutide reduces your appetite and makes you feel fuller for longer, you must be aware of what you are eating. For example, you won’t lose weight if you eat high-calorie meals and are not in a calorie deficit.

You can find more information on how to eat a calorie deficit diet in our dedicated article here.

Exercise

Exercise is important, not just for weight loss but for your overall health.

This doesn’t mean you should work out intensely at your local gym every day. Instead, you could go on a 30-minute walk each day or do a 15-minute HIIT workout.

Did you know that just a brisk 10-minute walk each day can produce many health rewards while contributing to the recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise for adults aged 19 to 64, as per the NHS physical activity guidelines?
