New Revolutionary Weight Loss Treatment

Wegovy is a licensed and approved prescription medication for managing weight-loss and obesity.

Wegovy contains the active ingredient, Semaglutide, a hormone that regulates our glucose metabolism and appetite. Wegovy triggers regions of your brain, imitating the action of your body’s natural appetite-regulating hormone. This will leave you feeling less hungry and fuller, meaning you will eat less and in turn can result in you losing weight.

Semaglutide is licensed and approved for managing adult obesity or anyone overweight who have at least one weight-related medical condition under the trade name of Wegovy.

This weight management prescription medication, Wegovy, is administered as a once-weekly injection and works by mimicking the effects of Semaglutide (GLP-1), a hormone that regulates glucose metabolism and appetite.

It is clear that Wegovy is a long-term treatment that should be used alongside lifestyle modifications such as diet and physical activity.

No, we no longer offer Ozempic. We currently offer Wegovy for weight-loss management. Both Ozempic and Wegovy are licensed brands that use the same active ingredient, Semaglutide. The main difference between the two is the amount of semaglutide each one contains, with Wegovy approved to have a higher amount of semaglutide. Wegovy also is specifically licensed and approved for those dealing with obesity and weight-related problems, with Ozempic being used to treat type 2 diabetes.

The main reported side effects of Wegovy are nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation and headache. These can be experienced in up to 10% of people, however the side effects do reduce and resolve over time.
