What is Wegovy?

Wegovy is a prescription injectable medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Unlike other GLP-1 medications originally developed for diabetes, Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss in adults with obesity or weight-related medical conditions.

Administered once a week, Wegovy works alongside lifestyle changes to promote long-term weight loss and improved metabolic health. It’s designed for individuals who have found limited success with diet and exercise alone and need additional medical support to manage their weight.

How Wegovy Works

Wegovy mimics a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a crucial role in appetite regulation and digestion. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Wegovy helps:

• Reduce hunger and food cravings
• Increase feelings of fullness after eating
• Slow gastric emptying, so food stays in your stomach longer

These effects make it easier to eat smaller portions, avoid overeating, and maintain a calorie deficit—key components of successful weight loss.

Over time, Wegovy also contributes to improved blood sugar levels and reduced risk factors associated with obesity, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Wegovy and Weight Loss

Wegovy is one of the most effective prescription medications available for weight management today. It’s not a quick fix, but rather a long-term medical treatment designed to help patients lose weight and keep it off. Unlike many over-the-counter products or short-term diet programs, Wegovy is clinically studied and backed by real results in adults with obesity or overweight linked to medical conditions.

Patients using Wegovy typically report reduced hunger, better control over snacking and portion sizes, and an easier time sticking to healthier eating habits. These changes happen gradually but noticeably, helping to shift patterns around food without the need for extreme diets or intense exercise regimens. 

When used consistently and under the guidance of a doctor, Wegovy supports steady, sustainable weight loss that improves both physical health and emotional well-being.

Effectiveness of Wegovy

In one of the largest clinical trials on weight loss medication, participants using Wegovy lost an average of 12%–15% of their body weight over a 68-week period, significantly more than those using a placebo. Many patients achieved even greater results when combining Wegovy with ongoing lifestyle improvements.

What sets Wegovy apart is that it not only helps initiate weight loss but also supports long-term weight maintenance, which is often the most difficult part of the journey. It works by helping the brain and body better regulate appetite and fullness, making it easier to maintain a lower calorie intake without feeling deprived.

The effectiveness of Wegovy is further enhanced through regular monitoring and dose adjustments, both of which are built into the DrHouse care model. Our physicians help ensure that each patient receives the right dosing schedule and medical guidance based on their goals, response, and tolerance.

Eligibility and Who It’s For

Wegovy is not a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a prescription medication that should only be used under the guidance of a licensed medical professional. At DrHouse, eligibility for Wegovy is determined through a comprehensive virtual consultation that includes a review of your health history, lifestyle, current medications, and specific weight loss goals. Lab work may also be required before a prescription is issued, ensuring safe and appropriate use.

You may be eligible for Wegovy if:

• You have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, which is classified as obese, or
• You have a BMI of 27 or higher and also have a weight-related health condition such as:
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular risk factors

Eligibility also depends on your overall health status. Wegovy is not recommended for individuals who are:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Not using reliable contraception (if of childbearing age)
• Experiencing significant mental health conditions that require further evaluation
• At high risk for thyroid tumors, especially medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2

Every patient evaluated for Wegovy through DrHouse is required to complete a video consultation with a physician. During this visit, your doctor will gather information about your weight and exercise history, social habits (like smoking or alcohol use), past surgeries, family history, and prior experiences with GLP-1 medications. You may be prescribed Wegovy starting at the lowest dose, or you may receive a lab order and return for a follow-up visit before treatment begins.

This multi-step approach allows our doctors to provide personalized treatment while ensuring safety and efficacy every step of the way.

Side Effects and Safety

Like any prescription medication, Wegovy can cause side effects. While many users tolerate it well, understanding potential side effects—and how to manage them—is a key part of starting and continuing GLP-1 treatment. DrHouse physicians provide full counseling on what to expect and how to minimize discomfort.

The most common side effects of Wegovy include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Abdominal pain or bloating
• Fatigue or headache in the early weeks

These symptoms tend to appear as your body adjusts to the medication, particularly when increasing your dosage. To reduce the likelihood and severity of side effects, Wegovy is started at a low dose and gradually increased over several months, following an evidence-based titration schedule.

More serious but rare risks include:

• Pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back)
• Gallbladder disease, including gallstones
• Kidney injury related to dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if taken with other glucose-lowering medications
• Serious allergic reactions, including swelling or difficulty breathing
• Thyroid tumors, particularly in people with a personal or family history of MTC or MEN 2

Wegovy should not be used by anyone with a history of these thyroid cancers or related syndromes. Patients should contact their doctor immediately if they experience severe abdominal pain, visual changes, or signs of an allergic reaction.

At DrHouse, patient safety is our top priority. You’ll receive personalized instructions on how to take Wegovy, what symptoms to watch for, and when to schedule check-ins. Our doctors also review tolerance and side effects during regular follow-up visits, and can make dose adjustments or switch medications if needed.
