What Wegovy means—and what must be checked

Wegovy contains semaglutide and is authorised for weight management for people who meet defined clinical criteria, alongside nutrition and physical activity. It is not suitable for everyone and a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.

1

How it works

It acts on the GLP-1 receptor and can reduce appetite and increase fullness. Dose escalation is gradual to improve tolerability; the exact plan must follow the authorised product information and the prescriber's advice.

2

Safety review

The doctor reviews pregnancy, pancreatitis or gallbladder history, gastrointestinal symptoms, kidney or liver problems, diabetes medicines, and other weight-loss treatment before deciding whether Wegovy is safe.

3

Compare correctly

Wegovy contains semaglutide. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide and acts on GIP as well as GLP-1. They are not interchangeable and should never be combined without specific medical instruction.
