Who qualifies for Wegovy

When you seek a Wegovy prescription online, the doctor looks for specific criteria. Wegovy (semaglutide) is typically prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will also be considered. Your doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure Wegovy is safe and appropriate for your health goals.

What Wegovy actually does (and doesn't do)

Wegovy is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body to help regulate appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and slows stomach emptying. While you might notice some appetite suppression within the first few weeks, Wegovy reaches its full effectiveness over several months as the dosage is gradually increased. It's not a magic pill; it works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Clinical studies show an average weight loss of 15-20% of initial body weight over 68 weeks at the full maintenance dose, but individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. The most common ones are usually mild and temporary, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Your doctor will guide you on managing these. However, if you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, or signs of an allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately. They will advise you if you need to stop the medication.
