Wegovy

Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is a prescription weight loss injection taken once weekly. It’s designed to help adults who are overweight or obese lose weight and keep it off when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally used for diabetes, now licensed specifically for weight management.

Wegovy works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that:

• Reduces hunger

• Slows gastric emptying (so you feel full longer)

• Helps regulate insulin and blood sugar

• Supports long-term, gradual weight loss

Most people using Wegovy notice a significant reduction in appetite, making it easier to eat less and lose weight consistently over time.

Wegovy may be suitable if you:

• Have a BMI of 30 or higher

• Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions like high blood pressure or sleep apnoea

• Are ready to commit to lifestyle changes

• Have no contraindicated health conditions (e.g., thyroid issues, pancreatitis)

We offer private, pharmacist-led consultations to assess your suitability and discuss your weight loss plan.

• Weekly injections you administer yourself

• Guidance from our pharmacy team

• Personalised lifestyle support

• Review appointments to track progress

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as nausea, diarrhoea, or stomach upset.
