Who qualifies for Wegovy

Our EU-licensed doctors assess several criteria to determine if Wegovy (semaglutide) is appropriate for you. Generally, Wegovy is prescribed for adults with 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 high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. The doctor looks for a comprehensive health picture to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body. It helps regulate your appetite by slowing down stomach emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reducing cravings. This leads to a decreased calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's an effective tool when combined with lifestyle changes, but it's not a magic bullet. You typically start seeing significant changes within a few months, with consistent use and adherence to a healthy diet and exercise. Wegovy helps you manage your hunger, but it doesn't replace the need for healthy eating habits and physical activity.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can have side effects. The most common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These are usually mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to communicate any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor immediately. You should stop Wegovy if you experience allergic reactions, severe abdominal pain, or if the doctor advises it based on your health condition and response to treatment.
