A Beginner's Guide to Wegovy
What Wegovy is, how it's prescribed, and what your first weeks might look like.

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injectable prescribed to support weight management alongside diet and physical activity. Your clinician will typically start you on a low dose and increase it gradually to help your body adjust.
What to expect in the first month Mild nausea, fullness after small meals and shifts in appetite are common. Most people find these effects settle as their body adapts. Keep hydrated, prioritise protein, and note anything unusual to discuss at your next appointment.
Building a foundation Think of Wegovy as one tool alongside sleep, movement and nourishing meals. The most sustainable progress comes when the medication supports habits you would want to keep long term.
