Wegovy

At Birmingham Weight Loss Clinic, we aim to help you achieve your weight loss and health goals through the latest advancements in medicine. We are proud to offer Wegovy®, an innovative solution for weight management featuring the active ingredient semaglutide. Wegovy is designed to empower individuals on their journey toward sustainable weight loss and improved well-being.

What is Wegovy?

Wegovy is a prescription medication for weight loss and long-term weight management. It contains semaglutide, a compound that mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) to regulate appetite and control food cravings. This medication, combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, offers an effective way to:

• Lose weight and maintain it over time.

• Reduce appetite and manage food cravings.

• Lower the risk of heart-related issues for adults with a history of heart disease and obesity or overweight.

Wegovy is suitable for:

Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of:

• 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or

• 27–29.9 kg/m² (overweight) with weight-related health conditions.

How Does Wegovy Work?

Wegovy works by targeting receptors in the brain that regulate appetite, making you feel fuller, less hungry, and more in control of your eating habits. When paired with dietary changes and physical activity, this treatment can lead to meaningful, sustainable weight loss.

How is Wegovy Administered?

Wegovy is provided as a once-weekly injection through the FlexTouch® pre-filled pen. Treatment begins with a low dose of 0.25 mg per week, which gradually increases over 16 weeks to the recommended dose of 2.4 mg per week.

Injection Sites:

• Upper arms

• Stomach (abdomen)

• Upper legs (thighs)

Our Birmingham Weight Loss Clinic team will guide you on the proper use of the Wegovy pen, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
