Who qualifies for Wegovy

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully evaluate each patient to ensure Wegovy is safe and effective. Generally, they look 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. Key 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. Your doctor will review your full medical history to confirm suitability.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy, containing the active ingredient semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. This helps you feel fuller, reduce cravings, and ultimately eat less. When combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Wegovy can lead to significant and sustained weight loss. It's important to understand that Wegovy is not a magic bullet; it supports your weight loss journey by helping manage hunger, but consistent lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success. Realistic timelines show that most significant weight loss occurs over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. The most common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal pain, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and changes in vision for people with diabetes. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or any other concerning symptoms, you should stop taking Wegovy immediately and contact your doctor. Your Hi-Doctor physician will discuss all potential side effects with you and monitor your progress.
