FAQs about starting Wegovy for weight loss
How does Wegovy work for weight loss?
It consists of semaglutide, which mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1 that regulates appetite and food intake. Wegovy works by:
- Reducing appetite: It signals your brain to feel less hungry.
- Increasing fullness: It slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, helping you feel full longer.
When combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Wegovy has been shown to help individuals lose up to 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. However, individual responses may vary depending on their body composition.

What to avoid while taking Wegovy?
To maximize the benefits of Wegovy, avoid certain foods and medications that trigger the side effects of the medication. This may include adapting the following to ensure optimal results:
- Staying away from excessive drinking, as it can lead to dehydration and low blood sugar.
- Avoid taking other GLP-1 receptor agonists, Tirzepatide, oral medications, blood glucose-lowering medications, and other weight-loss medications
- Keeping away from high-fat or high-sugar foods since they can counteract weight-loss goals and worsen gastrointestinal side effects
How soon can you expect to see results with Wegovy?
Many people begin to notice weight loss within the first 4 to 8 weeks of starting Wegovy. By 3 months, it’s common to see a 10-15% reduction in body weight, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Over time, consistent use can lead to significant weight loss.
However, it is important to note that individual results may vary. Always consult a doctor at Your Doctors Online to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
Can I take Wegovy injection for diabetes management?
Wegovy is for chronic weight management, not specifically for diabetes treatment. However, its active ingredient, semaglutide, is also found in Ozempic, which is approved for type 2 diabetes management. While Wegovy® may aid in weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity, it should not replace diabetes medications. Ask a doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
How long is a Wegovy prescription valid?
A Wegovy prescription typically provides a 28-day supply, with one injection per week. To maintain your treatment schedule, it’s important to obtain a new prescription or refill before your current supply runs out. You can conveniently request your medication refill through Your Doctors Online
How long do you take Wegovy injection for weight loss?
Wegovy is typically prescribed as a long-term weight management solution. Treatment duration may vary depending on your weight loss goals, health status, and the guidance of your healthcare provider. Most individuals will use it for at least 6 months, with continued use to maintain results and prevent weight regain.
What is better for weight loss, Ozempic or Wegovy?
Although both Ozempic and Wegovy contain the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide as their active ingredient, their FDA approvals differ. Wegovy is approved for weight loss, while Ozempic is used to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes and offers cardiovascular protection. If your primary goal is weight loss, Wegovy is prescribed for that.
Who should not take Wegovy?
You should not take Wegovy if:
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are under 18 years old
- You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (a rare thyroid cancer)
- You’ve been diagnosed with MEN2 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2)
- You’ve had a serious allergic reaction to semaglutide
