Who qualifies for Wegovy (semaglutide)

Doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Wegovy (semaglutide) is appropriate for you. Generally, it's prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidaemia. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, and severe gastrointestinal disease. Your doctor will carefully assess your medical history and current health status through the questionnaire to ensure your safety and treatment suitability.

What Wegovy (semaglutide) actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping you feel fuller, reduce cravings, and eat less. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, over time, significant weight loss. It's important to understand that Wegovy is a tool to aid weight loss and should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It doesn't guarantee immediate results, but many patients experience notable progress within weeks, with significant weight loss typically observed over 4-6 months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects. You should stop using Wegovy and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction, or vision changes. Your EU-licensed doctor will discuss potential side effects and monitor your progress.
