WHAT IS WEGOVY®?

Wegovy® is a prescription medication that is used to help adults with obesity or overweight lose weight and keep it off. It is a once-weekly injection that works by mimicking the action of a gut hormone called GLP-1. GLP-1 helps to control appetite and make you feel full after eating. Wegovy® also helps to slow down the movement of food through your digestive system, which can help you feel full for longer.

Wegovy® was approved by the FDA in June 2021 for the treatment of obesity in adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related medical condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
