How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy (Semaglutide) acts a natural hormone - glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP 1) targets certain areas in the brain which control the appetite and blood sugar levels in your body. It gives you a feeling of fullness and reduces food cravings resulting in reduced intake of food leading to weight loss. It is a prefilled injectable pen with 4 doses, with one dose once weekly for 4 weeks, lasting for one month of treatment.
How long does Wegovy take to work?
If you are taking Wegovy for first time, you often experience changes in appetite and noticeable weight loss within the first few weeks. Studies show that an average body weight reduction of 5% within a month. Usually, the weight loss with Wegovy is steady and some may achieve significant weight loss depending on age, dosage, etc
Wegovy Dosage Chart
Following the regular wegovy dosage plan is necessary to ensure medication is taken consistently to achieve effective weight loss and minimising the side effects. Starting with a lower dose of 0.25 mg for the first 4 weeks helps your body adjust with the medication. After this initial period, the dose can be increased to 0.5 mg per week or higher, depending on your response to the treatment. It would take 4 to 5 weeks to reach a "steady state," where the drug concentration in your body remains consistent. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider before increasing the doses.
How to Inject Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) should be injected under the skin once a week on the same day, at any time of the day, before or after food intake. The recommended wegovy dose for first time users is 0.25mg per week and must slowly increase over 20 weeks to maintain dose of 2.4 mg. This would help in minimizing the side effects. Each pen contains four doses lasting for a month.
Administering the injection: Hold the Wegovy pen at a 90-degree angle against the skin, ensuring it is firmly pressed against the injection site. Press the button to deliver the medication. The injection process may take a few seconds. Once complete, remove the pen from the skin.
By choosing fleshy areas of body such as upper arms, thighs or stomach (abdomen) can help the injection to hurt less. It is advised not to inject into your muscle or vein. It is better to shift injection sites to minimize discomfort and ensure optimal absorption.
Best place to inject Wegovy
- Upper arms: The fleshy area on the front of your upper arm above the elbow - however, this may not be the most comfortable way to administer your injection.
- Upper thighs: Similar to the upper arm, the front of your thigh provides ample injection space and often feels less sensitive. Injecting in the upper thigh can be more comfortable and easier to reach than the upper arm.
- Stomach (abdomen): The lower abdomen, two inches away from your belly button, can be another suitable location. However, consult your doctor for guidance if you have concerns about skin sensitivity in this area.
If you're still struggling to figure out where you should inject, it is better to divide the injection site into four separate sections. For each dosage you can pick one of the sections and rotate between them until all four injections have been used. Also, if you are injecting in a similar spot on the upper arm or thigh, you can insert the wegovy pen at least one finger width away from your previous injection site.
