Who qualifies for Wegovy or Ozempic

When reviewing your case for Wegovy or Ozempic, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you. Typically, these medications are prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Key contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis. The doctor also considers your overall health, current medications, and any other pre-existing conditions to determine if Wegovy or Ozempic is appropriate and safe for your specific situation.

What Wegovy and Ozempic actually do (and doesn't do)

Wegovy (semaglutide) and Ozempic (semaglutide) are GLP-1 receptor agonists. They work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This leads to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and slower stomach emptying, which collectively helps you eat less and lose weight. These medications are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. They are not a magic bullet; they support your efforts by helping to manage appetite and cravings. You should expect gradual weight loss over several months, not sudden dramatic changes, and consistency is key for the best results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy and Ozempic can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. It's crucial to seek medical attention immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction. The doctor will advise you on when to stop the medication, usually if side effects are unmanageable, if you're not achieving expected results, or if there are new health concerns. Always follow your doctor's guidance.
