IN PLAIN TERMS
What Semaglutide is, and how to get treatment
Semaglutide is a medicine given as an injection under the skin once a week. It copies a natural gut hormone called GLP-1 that your body makes after eating, so you feel full sooner and stay full longer, and most people end up eating less. In the EU the product authorised for weight management is Wegovy, used together with a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity. The same active ingredient is also sold as Ozempic, but that is a separate product authorised for type 2 diabetes, not for weight management.
Semaglutide has been authorised for use in the EU since 6 January 2022, so a licensed doctor can prescribe it when it is clinically appropriate for you.

About
What is Semaglutide?
Active ingredient: Semaglutide · Dosages: 0.25 – 2.4 mg / week
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist — a medication that mimics a natural hormone your gut releases after eating. It reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying and helps maintain sustained weight loss when combined with supervised nutrition and activity changes.
It's prescribed alongside changes to diet and activity, as part of a medically supervised plan — not on its own, and not as a shortcut. A licensed EU doctor decides whether it's appropriate and safe for you.
How it works in the body
Semaglutide may reduce appetite and slow how quickly your stomach empties, so you tend to feel full sooner and eat less. Effects build gradually and vary from person to person.
How it helps
Three ways it supports weight loss.
Eases appetite
Acts on hunger signals, so many people feel satisfied with less food.
Slows digestion
Food stays in your stomach longer, so you tend to feel full for longer.
Part of a plan
Prescribed alongside support for diet and activity — never as a standalone fix.
What to expect
A gradual, supervised start.
The dose is increased slowly over 16 weeks to help your body adjust and to ease side effects. Your doctor sets your exact schedule.
- Weeks 1–4 · Lowest dose
- Weeks 5–16 · Step up gradually
- Month 4+ · Maintenance dose
- Ongoing · Regular check-ins
Typical escalation
- Weeks 1–40.25 mg / week
- Weeks 5–80.5 mg / week
- Weeks 9–121 mg / week
- Weeks 13–161.7 mg / week
- Maintenanceup to 2.4 mg / week
Your schedule is personal
These are typical steps only. Your doctor adjusts the plan to how you respond and tolerate it — and you can message them at any point.
Safety first
Safety, in full.
Semaglutide is an effective medicine — and like any medicine it carries risks. Your doctor screens for all of this before prescribing. Here's the honest picture, not just reassurance.
Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or with overweight (BMI ≥27) plus at least one weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidaemia.
- Once-weekly self-injection in the thigh, abdomen or upper arm.
- Dose is escalated gradually (0.25 mg → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg) over 16 weeks to limit gastrointestinal side effects.
- Combined with diet and physical activity — semaglutide is not a substitute for lifestyle change.
Who should not take it
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2).
- Pregnancy, planned pregnancy in the next 2 months, or breastfeeding.
- History of pancreatitis or active pancreatic disease.
- Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis — semaglutide is not approved here.
- Severe gastroparesis or chronic severe gastrointestinal disease.
