What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a TGA-approved medication for long-term weight management. It works by boosting one of your own naturally occurring hormones (GLP-1) that regulates appetite and digestion, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings. In doing this it supports sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
The guide on how to take Wegovy is linked below.
