The weekly injection for effective weight loss.

Wegovy is a weight loss injection you use once a week. It makes reaching a lower body mass index (BMI) easier by helping you control your appetite, which lowers your calorie intake.

Wegovy is a weight loss treatment containing the active ingredient semaglutide, which comes as an injectable pen. You only have to use it once a week to help lower your appetite, leaving you free to spend the rest of the week however you want to.
Wegovy pens are designed for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 30, which is your body weight divided by your height. It can also be used by people with a BMI over 27 who have weight related conditions, like high blood pressure, sleep apnoea or type-2 diabetes.
There are five different doses of Wegovy pen. You’ll start on the lowest and take this for the first month, before moving to the next dose for another month (and so on). By month 5, you’ll be on the dose that you’ll use for the rest of your weight loss journey, alongside a reduced calorie diet.
Wegovy’s active ingredient, semaglutide, helps you achieve a healthy weight by binding to the GLP-1 receptors in your pancreas and brain. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone that’s released when you eat. It acts as a signal, telling your brain that you’re full, controlling your blood sugar function and regulating appetite.
Studies suggest that GLP-1 might not always work as well as it should do in obese and overweight people. This can mean the stomach empties more quickly and your hunger signals come back sooner after eating, leading to weight gain. So by working like GLP-1, Wegovy improves your blood sugar control and makes your stomach empty more slowly. This can lead to fewer hunger spikes and, as a result, a decrease in your body weight over time – making it an effective weight loss medication.
There are five strengths of Wegovy: 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg and 2.4mg. You start on the lowest dose and slowly increase your dose each four weeks until you reach the maintenance dose of 2.4mg. Each dose comes pre-filled in one pen.
The pens are colour-coded based on the dose amount, so using the right one is easy. You’ll start on an aqua-coloured 0.25mg pen for the first four weeks, then your dose will rise to a pink 0.5mg dose. After that you’ll go onto the brown 1mg pen, then the blue 1.7mg pen a month after that. Finally you’ll reach the 2.4mg black pen, which is the maximum dose. You’ll use each of these pens in the same way, they just contain different amounts of the drug.
And if you ever want to slow down this schedule, just chat to our clinical team. You can set the pace that’s right for you. Some people need a little while longer to get used to the 1.7mg dose before they move onto the maintenance one.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Using Wegovy is simple. It comes as pre-filled pens you inject just under your skin. Always follow your clinician’s advice on how to use it.
For more detailed information on how to use Wegovy (with diagrams), check the patient information leaflet that comes with your treatment.
Wegovy starts working immediately. You’ll need to work your way up to the maintenance dose before you see Wegovy regulating appetite fully, but you should start to see weight loss from the first month of use.
When you use Wegovy, you’ll need to maintain a healthy diet, and make sure you have a calorie deficit (where you use more energy than your calorie intake). Luckily, Wegovy helps you achieve this. It’s an effective weight loss drug and it’s safe to use long-term. So you can stay on Wegovy until you’re at a healthy BMI, or you’ve reached your target body weight.
If you don’t hear a first click while giving your injection, or the yellow bar doesn’t start moving, press the pen more firmly against your skin. Creating a smooth, firm area for injection by spreading your skin between your fingers might help.
If you forget to use your Wegovy dose on your scheduled day, you can inject yourself as soon as you remember (so long as your next weekly dose is more than 48 hours away). Then just keep taking your injections as normal. If it’s less than 48 hours until your next injection, just wait for that one. Don’t double up on doses to make up for a missed dose.
If you skip more than one Wegovy dose, you can carry on with your dosing as normal. If you have a sensitive stomach, you may want to start from a lower dose again before raising it, to reduce the chance of side effects like abdominal pain.
If you use too much Wegovy, you should talk to your doctor. Using too much can make you feel nauseous, be sick or lower your blood sugar. Seek medical attention immediately if you get any side effects that concern you, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.
