Wegovy® Frequently Asked Questions

Wegovy® (semaglutide) injection 2.4 mg is an injectable prescription medicine that may help adults and children aged ≥12 years with obesity (BMI ≥30 for adults, BMI ≥ 95th percentile for age and sex for children), or some adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) (overweight) who also have weight-related medical problems to help them lose weight and keep it off. Wegovy® should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.

Wegovy® works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This can help you eat less, which can lead to weight loss.

Wegovy® is taken once a week, any time of day, with or without food.

In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~35 lbs (or ~15% body weight). People taking placebo in the study (not on medicine) lost an average of 6 lb (or ~2.5% body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~232 lbs.

People respond to medicines differently, so there is no set time for when you can expect to see results with Wegovy®. Ask Rouzbeh Sattari, M.D. of Age Well MD about what might be a realistic expectation for you.

Wegovy® comes in 5 different doses: 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg. Each dose comes in its own color pen.

What are Peptides and How Do They Work?

As we grow older, the natural production of essential amino acids diminishes in our bodies. These amino acids are responsible for generating peptides which are crucial to many bodily functions.

Peptides modify the body’s responses to diet and exercise, accelerate the healing process, and strengthen immunity. Additionally, some peptides stimulate the secretion of Human Growth Hormone, which is influential in boosting strength, energy levels, skin elasticity, hair growth and much of the aging process.

Peptides provide detailed, targeted directives to cells and molecules, making them a better option than many traditional medications and supplements. Because of their precision, peptides are reported to cause very few, if any, side effects.
