Wegovy weight management injection benefits

Wegovy injections are a prescription medication to help eligible patients with excess weight or obesity to achieve sustainable weight loss, as well as regulate their blood sugar levels. 

  • Weight loss and blood sugar regulation

    Wegovy, or semaglutide, mimics the action of incretin, which is a hormone released in the gut following food intake.
    Wegovy helps to regulate your appetite. It increases feelings of fullness, reduces hunger and the preference for high-fat foods.
    It also reduces blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high.

  • Exercise and diet

    Wegovy is designed to be used in conjunction with a balanced, healthy diet and regular exercise, which are an essential part of achieving sustainable, long-term weight loss.

  • Convenience

    Wegovy injections can be self-administered at home, under the medical guidance of your practitioner.

  • Wegovy treatment at Hannah London vs online pharmacies

    At Hannah London, we offer clinical weight management support. We know how important it is for you to receive proper assessment of your medical history and BMI in a clinical environment. Through this we can determine the best approach to dosage for your medical needs, and ensure that you are regularly monitored.
    We do offer a convenient service where we can send your medication out to you, but you will always be looked after by a clinician who knows you personally.
    Our approach is entirely different from online pharmacies, which are not designed to provide you with personalised medical expertise combined with regular monitoring.

The science behind Wegovy weight management injections

Wegovy is a prescription weight loss medication suitable for adult patients who are overweight or obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It is also available to adult patients with a weight-related health condition who have a BMI of 27 or higher. 

Wegovy, or semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means that it mimics the function of the naturally occurring hormone, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This incretin hormone is released by the intestines in response to food intake. 

Through mimicking this hormone, Wegovy helps patients feel full sooner after eating, and suppresses food cravings. It also regulates blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. 

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved Wegovy as a treatment for reducing the risk of overweight and obese adults suffering serious heart problems or strokes.

Mounjaro or Wegovy 

Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are GLP-1 receptor agonist weight loss medications. Both mimic the action of the GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite and increase feelings of fullness. 

Mounjaro is a dual-action medicine; it also targets the GIP receptor, which increases insulin sensitivity.  

Wegovy or Ozempic

Like Wegovy, Ozempic is also a brand name for semaglutide, and is administered by the patient once weekly.  

Both Wegovy and Ozempic regulate the appetite and increase feelings of fullness, to help reduce food intake and achieve sustainable weight loss.

Ozempic is indicated as a treatment for type-2 diabetes, obesity and associated medical conditions.

    Wegovy mimics the hormone, GLP-1, which regulates appetite and blood sugar levels. It helps patients to feel full sooner after eating, and suppresses appetite.

  • What is the Wegovy dosage?

    Wegovy treatment is administered via a pre-filled injector pen. It is self-administered weekly, under the skin in the upper arms, stomach, thighs or buttocks.
    The starting dose of Wegovy is 0.25mg once a week, this will be gradually increased every four weeks.
    Your practitioner will select either 1.7mg or 2.4mg for your maintenance dose, depending on your requirements.

  • What other weight loss measures are needed?

    Wegovy is designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. This will ensure your weight loss is both sustainable and long lasting.

  • What are the Wegovy side-effects?

    Wegovy can cause side-effects in some patients, but not all.

    Mild side-effects can include:
    - Abdominal pain
    - Constipation or diarrhoea
    - Nausea or vomiting
    - Dizziness
    - Headache
    - Fatigue
    - Flatulence

    Any side-effects are usually temporary and can be easily managed. Your practitioner will give you guidance on how to manage them. Should your side-effects continue, please speak to your practitioner.

    - Pancreatitis
    - Hypoglycemia
    - Kidney problems
    - Allergic reaction
    - Gallbladder disease, gallstone or cholecystitis

    Wegovy can also cause changes in your facial appearance, because of the rapid weight loss it can stimulate. Your face may become thinner and seem hollower.

  • What are the Wegovy side-effects with alcohol?

    While there is no specific known risk in combining Wegovy and alcohol, it is recommended to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking Wegovy injections. 

    Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels, potentially making Wegovy less effective. 

  • Is Wegovy safe?

    Wegovy has been approved for use in the UK by the Medicines and Health Regulatory Authority (MHRA). This means that Wegovy is considered safe for use in eligible patients when it is prescribed by a registered health practitioner.

  • How long does Wegovy take to work?

    Wegovy starts to influence your appetite within a few days. Many patients experience initial weight loss in the first few weeks of treatment. 

    You will see more significant weight change as the dose of Wegovy increases, and with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. 

  • How long will the results last?

    Clinical trials have shown that patients taking between 1.7mg and 2.4mg of Wegovy can lose 5 to 15% of their body weight after 68 weeks of treatment*.

    Wegovy works best for weight loss when it is used alongside a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.

    If you maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise regime, this will increase the chances of long-term success.

    Through clinical weight management, we closely monitor our patients and offer regular motivational consultations to help you at every step of the way.

    We also provide nutritional guidance and support, and can refer you to our in-house expert nutritionist if required.
