Wegovy 0.25 mg 1 Prefilled Pen 1.5ml
Product Details
Wegovy 0.25 mg prefilled pen is a prescription medication designed for chronic weight management in adults. It contains semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. This medication is typically used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) or who are overweight (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m²) with at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol).
Benefits of Use
Significantly aids in weight loss and long-term weight management.
Helps improve weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
Works by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, and slowing gastric emptying.
How to Use
- Always use Wegovy exactly as your doctor has told you.
- Administer Wegovy once weekly on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without meals.
- Inject Wegovy subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
- Rotate injection sites with each dose to avoid hardening of the skin.
- Follow a gradual dose escalation schedule as prescribed by your healthcare provider, starting with 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks.
- Do not inject into a vein or muscle.
- Refer to the pen's instructions for use for detailed administration steps.
Caution & Warnings
- Do not use if you or any of your family have a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis or gallstones.
- Patients may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially during dose escalation.
- Monitor blood sugar levels if you are also taking insulin or sulfonylureas, as Wegovy can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Not recommended for use in patients with severe kidney problems or end-stage renal disease.
- Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, which could be a sign of pancreatitis.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not share your Wegovy pen with others, even if the needle is changed, as this carries a risk of infection.
