A Medical Weight-Loss Treatment Under Specialist Supervision at Estetic-Sana Clinic.
What Is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a medicine used for weight management in people with obesity or overweight, particularly when associated with weight-related health conditions. Its active ingredient is semaglutide, a laboratory-produced molecule that mimics the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a naturally occurring hormone secreted in the intestine that plays an important role in regulating appetite and food intake.
How Does Wegovy Work?
Naturally occurring GLP-1 is rapidly broken down in the body and has a relatively short duration of action. Semaglutide has been structurally modified to remain active in the body for considerably longer, allowing for a prolonged therapeutic effect.
Wegovy acts at several levels:
At the brain level it activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain:
- Increases feelings of satiety and fullness
- Reduces hunger and appetite
At the gastrointestinal level:
- Delays gastric emptying
- Helps regulate food intake by reducing the total amount of food consumed daily
At the metabolic and hormonal level
- Improves insulin sensitivity by stimulating insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia and lowering postprandial blood glucose levels
- Reduces glucagon secretion
Benefits of Wegovy Treatment
- Supports metabolicregulation
- Improves the lipid profile
- Weight loss of approsimately 15-20%
- Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and may contribute to improvements in hypertension,hepatic,steatosis,and type 2 diabetes
- Improves the patient`s quality of life
Possible Side Effects
Like any medicine, Wegovy may cause side effects. The most common adverse reactions include:
- Abdominal discomfort,nausea, and vomiting
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- Temporary fatigue and dizziness
These symptoms tend to improve as the body adapts to the treatment and the physician determines the appropriate individualized treatment regimen.
