What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, approved by Health Canada, for chronic weight management in adults with obesity. Typically, this means individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30, or with a BMI between 27 and 30 with an accompany condition caused by weight.
Wegovy requires a prescription and should only be used under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.

How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy works by activating the GLP-1 (glucagon-like-peptide-1) receptor. This regulates appetite and sends fullness signals to the brain, reducing cravings and food intake. Wegovy works best in addition to lifestyle change, including exercise and a healthy diet
You take Wegovy in the form of a once-weekly injection, which is applied just below the skin, using a very small needle (less than 4 mm long).
