How does wegovy work?

Wegovy acts on the part of the brain which are involved in regulating your appetite.

Furthermore it increases feelings of fullness, reduces feelings of hunger and reduces the preference for high-fat foods.

In addition it also reduces blood sugar by promoting the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Another name for semaglutide is Ozempic, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes because it can reduce blood sugar.

Wegovy is a higher-dose version of Ozempic (semaglutide), which is used to treat type 2 diabetes. Wegovy works by:

1. Reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness
2. Slowing gastric emptying
3. Reducing body weight
