What is Wegovy and How Does It Work?

Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication created to help individuals address excess weight. It works by mimicking the effects of the natural GLP-1 hormone, which is involved in both appetite control and blood sugar balance. Through this mechanism, Wegovy increases insulin secretion, lowers glucagon production, and delays stomach emptying. Patients using Wegovy often experience reduced hunger, improved portion control, and gradual weight reduction.

Differences Between Wegovy and Ozempic

Both Wegovy and Ozempic share the same base ingredient, but their uses are distinct.

Ozempic: Approved for managing type 2 diabetes, Ozempic contains a lower dose of the GLP-1 hormone.
Wegovy: Specifically approved for weight management, Wegovy contains a higher GLP-1 dose of.

Clinical Trial Results for Wegovy

Is Wegovy FDA Approved?

Yes, Wegovy was officially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2021. This approval was built on the strength of four clinical trials that each lasted 68 weeks and included more than 4,500 participants. These studies clearly demonstrated that patients who received Wegovy lost significantly more weight than those who did not, establishing its effectiveness in supporting weight loss.

Side Effects of Wegovy

Patients who start Wegovy should be aware of its potential side effects. The most common include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain, and vomiting. In most cases, these symptoms are temporary and lessen as treatment continues. Severe allergic reactions are possible but extremely rare. Dr. Michael Rankin will explain the risks and likely outcomes during your first visit and will also give guidance on managing any side effects that may occur.

Lifestyle Med Spa takes a thorough and personalized approach when recommending Wegovy. Before starting treatment, your full medical history is reviewed, including thyroid function, blood pressure readings, blood sugar control, and kidney function, not just BMI. By carefully considering all of these factors, we are able to create a plan that is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring safe and effective weight loss.
