What is Wegovy?
Wegovy injection is used for weight loss and to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in specific people. It works by regulating appetite and reducing calorie intake, leading to weight loss, helping with weight management, and lowering the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death. Wegovy is a prescription medicine given as an injection once a week under the skin.
Wegovy (semaglutide)belongs to the class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1 receptor agonists are a manufactured version of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone in the body that acts in several areas in the brain to regulate food intake. When Wegovy is administered, it activates the GLP-1 receptors in the brain. This lowers appetite, reduces the calories consumed, and leads to weight loss.
