Who qualifies for Wegovy

Our EU-licensed doctors review each case to ensure Wegovy is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, Wegovy is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, including any contraindications like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

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 that helps regulate your appetite and blood sugar. This means you feel fuller for longer, eat less, and can achieve significant weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It doesn't offer instant results; significant weight loss typically occurs over several weeks and months as your body adjusts to the medication and dosage increases. Wegovy is a tool to support your weight management journey, not a standalone miracle cure.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. Most are mild to moderate and gastrointestinal, often improving as your body adjusts. These include nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Less common side effects can include headache and fatigue. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any of the following, contact a doctor immediately: severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis), signs of gallbladder problems (e.g., severe pain in the upper abdomen, fever, jaundice), or changes in your mood or behaviour. Your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor will provide guidance on managing side effects and when to seek further medical attention.
