The weekly injection for effective weight loss.
Wegovy is a weight loss treatment in an injectable pen. It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which belongs to a class of medications known as peptide-1 receptor agonists. The injections work by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone involved in controlling your blood sugar and regulating your appetite.
You only have to inject Wegovy 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. Your BMI is a calculation of your body weight divided by your height. The pens 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 and controlling your blood sugar function.
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:
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.

Great experience
I ordered my product but unfortunately dpd had sent it back to the pharmacy twice with no explanation. Zeeshan (hope I have spelt his name right) was so lovely and updated me with how my order was processing. We think the problem initially was to do with me living in Northern Ireland. I got the delivery, yes with a delay of about a week but I had constant updates and zeeshan was so lovely and it was no fault of their own. Highly recommend and zeeshan was a breath of fresh air to deal with 🙂

Wegovy
Have lost 2lb in two weeks so far.
Hoping higher dose is better
I am using Wegovy which is better than Ozempic but not as good as I would like. The 0.25dose didn’t help at all so I have tried 0.75 which was much better and am about to start 1.00mg doses. Over all it’s a great drug but finding the right level is a bit tricky as you have to start at the bottom and work your way up! Persevere and it will pay off….that and a little bit of willpower..
Is helping with weight loss,
Is helping with weight loss, still get upset stomach, but not sure if this maybe down to what I may have eaten, also indigestion.
Postive Results
I have been pleased to see that taking this injection has helped to suppress my appetite and enabled me to stick to just eating healthy meals with no additional snacking. I no longer spend each day thinking about food! I have chosen to increase the dose every 2 weeks so that I see a more gradual weight loss as I am in this for the long term.
Good so far
Only been a couple of weeks but feel like my appetite is more in control
I thought I would lose
I thought I would lose slightly more weight. Currently it’s averaging 1lb a week
Weight loss
I’ve been taking Orlistat weight loss.capsule for 2 weeks I’ve lost a 2lb..so far, eating less and exercising more.. so not quite sure if it’s eating less and exercising more than usual . Will do another review in 2 more weeks .
