Wegovy for sale

How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy works by making you feel fuller and more satisfied with less food. Eating less food makes you more likely to lose weight, especially when combined with a healthier diet and regular exercise.

Wegovy does this because it contains semaglutide, which is a manmade version of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). After eating, our bodies release this hormone to help regulate our blood sugar levels. This makes us feel full and satisfied after a meal. By mimicking this hormone, Wegovy gives you the same feeling of being full and satisfied when eating less food.

Wegovy is injected once a week and helps to control your hunger levels and appetite, which means you can start to eat smaller portions and feel fuller for longer. Wegovy may not work as quickly or effectively if you consume a lot of fatty or sugary foods and drinks. You will be advised to follow a healthier diet and adopt regular exercise by your doctor in order for you to get the most out of Wegovy.

How to take Wegovy
Wegovy is injected under the skin once a week with or without food. You should try to take it at the same time each week. Each Wegovy pen has 4 doses and lasts for 4 weeks of treatment, then you’ll need to start a new pen.

Always double check you have the correct dose prescribed and that you have the right medication before injecting. This may seem obvious, but it’s always best to make sure.

Choose and rotate your injection site
When choosing where to inject Wegovy, try to inject it in a different place each week. The best places to inject Wegovy are the stomach, upper legs, or upper arms.
