उत्पाद वर्णन
Wegovy (semaglutide) 2.4 mg is a once-weekly injectable medication used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight, along with at least one weight-related condition (such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol).
This 2.4 mg dose is the full maintenance dose and is prescribed after a gradual titration process that helps patients safely build up to this level. Wegovy works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and food intake. It helps reduce hunger, increase satiety (the feeling of fullness), and support long-term weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Wegovy 2.4 mg is not intended for cosmetic weight loss or short-term use. It is part of a long-term medical approach to healthy, sustainable weight reduction.
