Wegovy ( semaglutide )
[edit]Wegovy is a prescription medication developed by Novo Nordisk for chronic weight management. It is a form of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for weight loss.[1][2]. Wegovy has shown promising results for individuals struggling with obesity or weight-related health conditions[3].
Wegovy is prescribed for adults who meet the following criteria:
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (classified as obese), or
- A BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one associated health condition, such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension[4][5].
In clinical studies, patients using Wegovy in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity experienced an average weight loss of approximately 15% of their body weight[6][7]. This significant reduction highlights its effectiveness as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
How It Works
[edit]Wegovy works by:
- Mimicking the hormone GLP-1 to suppress appetite.
- Slowing down stomach emptying, which prolongs feelings of fullness[8][9].
Cost of Wegovy
[edit]The cost of Wegovy varies depending on insurance coverage and geographic location. In the United States, the retail price typically ranges from $1,300 to $1,500 per month without insurance[10][11]. However, financial assistance programs provided by Novo Nordisk may help eligible patients afford the medication[12].
Insurance coverage is often limited, and patients may need to consult their providers to determine eligibility for reimbursement or co-pay programs[13][14]
