How It Works
Wegovy contains semaglutide, which is a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 receptors involved in the regulation of appetite and food intake. Through its effects on these pathways, Wegovy can support reduced calorie intake as part of a comprehensive weight management programme.
Wegovy should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, as directed by the prescribing clinician.
