Why Are Most Doctor Prescribed Wegovy for Weight Loss and Management?

Yes. In certain adults, Wegovy is taken in conjunction with exercise and a low-calorie diet for
long-term weight loss and weight management. Doctor Prescribed Wegovy to adults with a
body mass index (BMI)* of 30 or above (obesity).

It’s also utilized in people with a BMI of 27 or
above (considered overweight) and at least one weight-related health problem. High blood
pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol are examples of these disorders. Wegovy aids
in long-term weight loss by controlling your appetite and calorie intake.

How Does Wegovy Function? Does It Give YouEnergy?

Wegovy functions similarly to the GLP-1 hormone. This hormone regulates your appetite in the
brain. Wegovy can help reduce your appetite and decrease your calorie intake by mimicking the
activities of GLP-1. This can result in weight loss and aid with weight management in the long
run.
Wegovy does not provide you with energy. However, decreasing weight frequently makes
people feel more energetic. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if you want to learn more
about how Wegovy works.

Recommended Dosages

Doctor Prescribed Wegovy starting with 0.25 mg once per week for weight loss and
management. Your doctor will gradually increase your starting dose until you reach the
recommended dose. Check out Wegovy’s prescription information for more thorough dose
recommendations. Also, follow your doctor’s dosing directions.

How Much Weight Can You Lose Using Wegovy?

The amount of weight lost as a result of Wegovy treatment varies from person to person.
According to one study, the majority of patients who took Wegovy lost at least 10% of their body

weight. In this study, a smaller proportion of participants dropped at least 15% of their body
weight.
For example, a person weighing 200 pounds (lbs.) would lose 20 lbs. if they lost 10% of their
body weight. And losing 15% of their body weight equates to dropping 30 pounds.
