Who qualifies for Wegovy

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribed to adults for chronic weight management. Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict medical guidelines to ensure it's safe and effective for you. When considering your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria. Typically, this means you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will carefully assess your medical history, current health status, and BMI to determine if Wegovy is an appropriate treatment option for your case.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy works by mimicking a natural gut hormone, semaglutide, that helps regulate your appetite and food intake. It slows down gastric emptying, which makes you feel fuller for longer and reduces cravings. This mechanism helps to lower calorie intake and, over time, can lead to significant weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. It's crucial to understand that Wegovy is not a standalone solution; consistent use and lifestyle changes are essential for optimal results. Most patients begin to see effects within a few weeks, with more significant weight loss typically observed over several months. It doesn't offer guaranteed results, but it supports your weight management journey.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually subside as your body adjusts. Serious side effects are rare but can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and thyroid tumours. It is important to discuss all potential side effects with your doctor. You should stop taking Wegovy and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction.
