What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription weight loss medication that contains the active ingredient semaglutide. It works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone your body produces after eating that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar.
Wegovy comes as a pre-filled injection pen that you use once a week, on the same day each week. It's designed to be simple to use at home, with no mixing or measuring required. Each pen contains 4 weekly doses.
What makes Wegovy effective?"
subsection?
Wegovy is one of the most thoroughly studied weight loss medications. It works by activating the GLP-1 receptor in your body, which helps control appetite, reduces cravings, and helps you feel fuller for longer.
Beyond weight loss, Wegovy is also licensed for cardiovascular protection — it's been proven to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death by 20% in adults with established heart disease.

How does Wegovy
work in your body?
Wegovy works by mimicking GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a natural hormone your gut produces after eating. This hormone sends powerful signals to your brain and body that help you eat less and feel satisfied.
GLP-1 Actions
Glucagon-like peptide-1 is a hormone released by your intestines after you eat.
Reduce appetite
Sends signals to your brain that you're full, helping you feel satisfied sooner
Slows stomach emptying
Food stays in your stomach longer, keeping you fuller for longer.
Controls cravings
Quiets "food noise" — those constant thoughts about eating
Regulates blood sugar
Helps your body produce insulin when blood sugar rises
GIP Actions
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide is the second hormone Wegovy activates.
Enhances insulin response
Helps your body process sugar more efficiently
Promotes fat loss
Directly affects how your body breaks down fat stores
Reduces fat accumulation
Helps prevent new fat from being stored
Boosts energy levels
Helps your body use energy more efficiently
The Result
By activating both these hormone pathways, Wegovy helps you naturally eat less without feeling constantly hungry or deprived. Most people notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks, with cravings and "food noise" significantly quieting as treatment continues.

How to use yourWegovy pen
Simple, step-by-step injection guide
Wegovy is designed to be simple to use at home. Each pen contains 4 weekly doses, and you'll use the same pen for 4 weeks before starting a new one. While injections might sound intimidating, most people find the process quick and painless after the first few times.
When to inject: Once a week on the same day each week, at any time of day (with or without food). Set a weekly reminder on your phone so you don't forget.
Prepare your supplies
What you'll need:
- Your Wegovy pen (check expiry date and liquid is clear)
- A new pen needle (included)
- Sharps disposal container
Wash your hands thoroughly and let the pen sit at room temperature for 15 minutes if refrigerated (this makes injection more comfortable).
Prime your pen
Inject your dose
Dispose safely
Where to inject
Choose one of these three areas. You can change areas each week if you like.
Stomach (abdomen)At least 5cm (2 inches) away from belly button. Most popular site — easy to reach. Rotate sites within the stomach area.
Front of thighsUpper, outer part of thighs. Good alternative to stomach.
Upper armsBack or outer area of upper arm. May need someone to help inject here.
Important: Rotate your injection site each week. Using the same exact spot repeatedly can cause skin thickening and affect medication absorption.
Rotate Sites
Using different injection sites (stomach, thigh, arm) helps avoid skin irritation and ensures the medication works effectively.
Understanding your Wegovy dosing schedule
Gradual dose increases for best results and minimal side effects.
What is dose titration?
Wegovy uses a gradual dose increase approach called titration. You start at the lowest dose (0.25mg) and slowly increase every 4 weeks to help your body adjust and minimise side effects.
What if I miss a dose?
Within 4 days:
Take it as soon as you remember.
More than 4 days:
Skip that dose.
Never double dose.
