Wegovy
Wegovy
Wegovy is an advanced weight management medication that supports substantial weight loss and better metabolic health. Delivered via subcutaneous injections, it works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) to help reduce appetite and enhance feelings of fullness. Often used as part of a personalized treatment plan that includes diet and exercise, Wegovy is tailored to each patient’s unique needs by healthcare professionals. For those struggling with weight management, Wegovy offers an effective solution under the expert care of specialists at Heba Weight Loss Clinic.
Ingredients
Wegovy’s active ingredient is semaglutide, a compound also used in diabetes management to help regulate blood sugar levels. The medication may also contain additional inactive ingredients that support its stability and preservation. Full details can be discussed during patient consultations.
Results
Wegovy has been shown to support significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. In clinical trials, individuals taking the full 2.4 mg dose of semaglutide weekly lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Some patients experienced even greater results, depending on their starting weight, adherence to lifestyle changes, and individual response to the medication.
Side Effects
The most common side effects of Wegovy include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and constipation. More serious side effects can occur, including changes in vision, kidney problems, or gallbladder issues. Patients are encouraged to discuss any side effects with their healthcare provider to ensure safety and proper management.
