What Is Wegovy?

Wegovy is a branded fat loss medication. It's the brand name for the drug semaglutide, which helps control appetite. Semaglutide is also sold under the name Ozempic, but Wegovy is specifically approved by the FDA for weight loss, while Ozempic is approved for treating type 2 diabetes.

It's for adults dealing with obesity—or excess weight—with a body mass index (BMI) over 30. It can also be used by people with a BMI over 27 who have weight-related problems, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

Wegovy injection contains semaglutide as the key ingredient. Semaglutide acts like a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1, produced by the gut, is released after eating and plays a key role in controlling appetite, blood sugar levels, and weight loss.

‎How Wegovy Works?

While Wegovy doesn't directly suppress your appetite in the same way as some medications, it can indirectly reduce your desire to eat by influencing how your body processes hunger and fullness signals.

Actually in the back end Wegovy works by mimicking natural hormone in our body called GLP-1, helping you feel fuller and reducing cravings, which can lead to significant weight loss.

This medication helps you eat less by turning on certain receptors in your body. When those receptors are activated, you feel fuller and more satisfied, which can make it easier to eat less This can lead to decreased calorie intake and ultimately supports healthy weight loss.
