Who qualifies for Wegovy
Wegovy (semaglutide) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidaemia). Your doctor looks for these criteria, along with a complete medical history, to ensure Wegovy is suitable and safe for you. Certain conditions, like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, are contraindications.
What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)
Wegovy, containing the active substance semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows stomach emptying. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It is a tool, not a magic bullet; it works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic timelines show significant weight loss (around 15% of body weight) typically over a 68-week period, not overnight.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. The most common ones are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can occur. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any concerning symptoms immediately. Your doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment if side effects are severe or if the medication is no longer appropriate.
