What Is Wegovy Used For?
Wegovy contains the active ingredient semaglutide - similar to the medications Ozempic and Rybelsus - but is approved for weight loss / chronic weight management in adults in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet and physical activity. Wegovy belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists and is thought to work by helping with appetite regulation and causing the stomach to empty more slowly. Typical adult eligibility is a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher plus a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, or obstructive sleep apnea. Wegovy is also approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity.
The active ingredient in Wegovy was evaluated in clinical trials, including the SUSTAIN, STEP, and PIONEER trials. Alternative medications for weight management include Foundayo and Zepbound. Wegovy has also shown benefit in reducing cardiovascular risk.
