Wegovy in detail
 
															Wegovy is a medicine that contains an active substance called semaglutide.
Wegovy is used for weight loss and weight maintenance in adults. Wegovy primarily works by regulating your appetite, giving you a sense of satiety (‘fullness’), making you feel less hungry and experience less food cravings. This will help you eat less food and reduce your body weight.

Wegovy® FAQs
Wegovy® is a once-weekly injection that’s given in the arm, leg or abdomen. It uses a very small, fine needle for a near-painless injection just below the surface of the skin. The Wegovy® pen comes ready to use, with a button that delivers the right amount of medication for your treatment stage. Once you’ve had the injection, remove the needle and dispose of it in a sharps bin.
Each Wegovy® pen contains 4 doses and will therefore last 4 weeks. The strength of the injection is increased every 4 weeks until the maximum dose is reached.
Wegovy® is one of the most effective weight loss treatments available. When used alongside a modified diet and exercise, studies have shown over almost 85% of people achieved weight loss of 5% or more, 66% achieved weight loss of 10% or more, and almost 50% achieved weight loss of 15% or more.
We need to assess your weight once you’ve been taking Wegovy® for around 6 months. If you’ve lost 5% of your initial weight at that assessment, you are likely to be able to continue using it for up to two years with clinical guidance.
Yes, around six months into treatment we will check in with you to find out how your weight loss is going.
If you experience symptoms such as persistent nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea with your current Wegovy® dose, speak to our customer care team for advice. We may recommend delaying your next dose increase for a few more weeks to see if that helps improve your tolerance. We can also give you tips to help manage any symptoms and get maximum benefit from the medication. It’s important to not increase your Wegovy® dose until your body is ready, so make sure you contact MedExpress if you have persistent side effects.
Yes, Wegovy® is licensed for weight loss in the UK.
Always carry your Wegovy® pen in your hand luggage. Never place it in your checked baggage, as the aircraft hold can expose it to freezing temperatures that could damage the medication. Use a travel cooler to help keep your Wegovy® pen cold, especially if you’re travelling for extended periods in warm climates.
Unopened Wegovy® pens should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C. If that’s not possible, the pen can be kept at room temperature (up to 30°C) for up to 28 days. It’s important not to use any pen that has been exposed to temperatures outside this range.
To pass through airport security smoothly, make sure you carry your prescription with your name on it, along with the original box your medication came in. Carry your passport as your primary ID, and consider having extra proof of address (such as a utility bill) on hand in case further verification is requested.
Airline policies on travelling with medication can vary, so it’s best to contact your specific airline ahead of time to check what’s required for carrying medication on board.
If a dose is missed, it should be administered as soon as possible, within 5 days after the missed dose. If more than 5 days have passed, the missed dose should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken on the regularly scheduled day. From there, you can continue the once weekly dosing schedule.
Yes. A major clinical trial found that Wegovy reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from heart disease by up to 20% in people living with obesity or who are overweight and have pre-existing heart disease — even if they don’t have diabetes.
- Lowering blood pressure
- Reducing ‘bad’ cholesterol and triglycerides
- Improving ‘good’ cholesterol
- Reducing inflammation, a key driver of heart disease
- Promoting weight loss, which reduces strain on the heart
If you are planning to become pregnant, it is recommended that you wait at least two months after your last dose of Wegovy to begin trying.
Wegovy should not be used while breastfeeding. While we don’t know for sure how Wegovy could affect a breastfed baby, a risk can’t be ruled out.
