Wegovy® (semaglutide) Injection
For Chronic Weight Management
Clinical Overview
Wegovy® is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist for chronic weight management in adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with comorbidities. Clinical trials demonstrate a **15% mean body weight reduction** (35 lb from 232 lb baseline) over 68 weeks, with 86% achieving ≥5% weight loss. It regulates appetite through hypothalamic signaling and delays gastric emptying for sustained caloric deficit when used with lifestyle interventions.
Key Benefits

- Dose-Titration Protocol: 5-step escalation over 20 weeks minimizes GI intolerance for patient comfort.
- Multi-System Benefits: Improves key cardiometabolic markers such as blood pressure, LDL-C, and HbA1c.
- Long-Term Maintenance: 2-year extension studies show sustained 15% weight control, promoting lasting results.
