Description

Wegovy (Semaglutide) 0.25mg FlexTouch solution for injection in pre-filled pen

Wegovy is a prescription only medicine indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management, including weight loss and weight maintenance, in adults with an initial Body Mass Index (BMI) of

≥ 30 kg/m2 (obesity), or
≥ 27 kg/m2 to <30 kg/m2 (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Mechanism of action:

Semaglutide is a GLP-1. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that selectively binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, the target for native GLP-1.

GLP-1 is a physiological regulator of appetite and calorie intake, and the GLP-1 receptor is present in several areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation.

Semaglutide has direct effects on areas in the brain involved in homeostatic regulation of food intake in the hypothalamus and the brainstem, and direct and indirect effects on areas involved in hedonic regulation of food intake, including the septum, thalamus and amygdala.

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

Store in a refrigerator at 2–8°
