How does Wegovy work?

Wegovy contains semaglutide, which mimics the action of GLP-1, a hormone naturally produced in the gut. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar, slows down digestion, reduces appetite, and increases feelings of fullness. These effects contribute to weight loss when Wegovy is used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. 

Is Wegovy the same as Ozempic?

Wegovy and Ozempic both contain the active ingredient semaglutide, but they are prescribed for different purposes. Ozempic is primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy is specifically designed and approved for weight management. 

How do I know if I’m eligible?

You may be eligible for Wegovy depending on factors like your body mass index (BMI) and overall health. Book a weight loss consultation to find out if you are eligible.

How do I take Wegovy?

Wegovy is a weekly injection. Follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s instructions for proper use.

How much does Wegovy cost in Canada?

Prices can vary by pharmacy. You can check with your pharmacy or healthcare provider for cost details.

Is Wegovy covered by insurance in Canada?

Wegovy is not typically covered by provincial health insurance plans in Canada for weight loss. Some private insurance plans may provide coverage, but it varies based on the provider and plan details.

What are the common side effects of Wegovy?

Wegovy has some common side effects that are usually mild and include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and headaches. If you have concerns, your doctor or pharmacist can provide guidance on managing side effects. 

How quickly will I see results with Wegovy?

Weight loss results with Wegovy may vary, but many patients start seeing changes within a few weeks. Most people experience gradual weight loss over several months when using Wegovy alongside diet and exercise.
