Wegovy is a brand-name prescription drug manufactured by Novo Nordisk. There is no generic available at this time.
Wegovy is a prescription medication approved to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes in adults with established heart disease and either obesity or overweight. It is also used for weight management in adults and children aged 12 and older who are either obese or overweight. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it is intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to promote and maintain weight loss. Wegovy works by activating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in the brain.
Yes, Wegovy is specifically prescribed for weight loss in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obese) or 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. It is intended for use as part of a treatment plan that includes a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity. In a clinical trial, patients using Wegovy achieved an average weight loss of 14.9% of their initial body weight over a 68-week period. Obtaining a prescription for Wegovy generally requires a consultation with a healthcare provider who will evaluate if it's suitable based on your health needs and medical history.
Ozempic and Wegovy both contain the active ingredient semaglutide. However, Ozempic is FDA-approved for controlling blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy is FDA-approved for weight management. Wegovy can deliver a higher maximum weekly dose of semaglutide (2.4 mg) than Ozempic (2 mg). Many healthcare providers prescribe Ozempic off-label (non-FDA-approved) for weight loss.
Common side effects of Wegovy include, but are not limited to:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Constipation
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Headache
These side effects may lessen or disappear as you get used to the medication. If these side effects persist or are bothersome, consult your healthcare provider for medical advice.
Wegovy has a black box warning, which is the most serious warning required by the FDA. This type of medication has caused thyroid cancer in animal studies. It is unknown whether this medication causes thyroid tumors in humans. Patients who take Wegovy should be aware of symptoms of thyroid cancer, which may include hoarseness, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or a lump in the neck. People with a history or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or individuals with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should not take Wegovy.
Serious allergic reactions are rare. If you experience symptoms of hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, get emergency medical attention.
Other serious side effects, including pancreas, gallbladder, and kidney problems, may occur. Patients who take Wegovy should also be monitored for mood changes and suicidal thoughts.
This is not a full list of side effects, and others may occur. Consult your healthcare provider for more information about Wegovy's side effects.
Wegovy, in combination with insulin or certain diabetes medications (glipizide, glyburide, or glimepiride), can increase the risk of low blood sugar. If the combination is prescribed together, a dosage adjustment of the insulin or oral diabetes drug may be required. It may be recommended to monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Because Wegovy affects stomach emptying, it can affect the absorption of medicines taken by mouth. Ask your healthcare provider if you need to space your oral medications when taking Wegovy.
This is not a full list of drug interactions, and others may occur. Before taking Wegovy, tell your healthcare provider about your medications, including prescription drugs, OTC medicines, and vitamins or supplements.
You may be wondering how to reduce the cost of Wegovy, especially if cost is a barrier. Other alternatives are available. Saxenda (liraglutide) is a weight-loss medication in the same drug class as GLP-1 agonists. While Wegovy is a once-weekly injection, Saxenda is a daily injection. Wegovy and Saxenda are the only medications in the drug class currently approved for weight loss. Healthcare providers often prescribe other GLP-1 agonists off-label for weight loss, such as Ozempic.
Additionally, there are various oral weight-loss drugs that can be used for short-term or long-term weight loss. Weight-loss drugs are generally recommended along with lifestyle changes like diet and increased physical activity.
If you are interested in Wegovy alternatives, consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate medication.
