Wegovy injection is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone regulating hunger and food intake. It works by:
Suppressing appetite to help control calorie intake.
Slowing gastric emptying keeps you feeling full for longer.
Regulating blood sugar levels, preventing hunger spikes and reducing cravings.
Clinical trials show:
85% of users lost at least 5% of their body weight over 68 weeks.
66% lost more than 10%, 48% lost over 15%, and 30% achieved more than 20% weight loss.
After 4 Weeks – Some users notice a reduced appetite and minor weight loss.
After 3 Months – More significant weight loss may occur as the body adjusts to the medication.
After 6 Months – Many users experience a 10-15% weight reduction from their initial body weight.
After 1 Year – Studies show continued use can lead to sustained weight loss of up to 20%.
Treatment Progression
