Wegovy (Semaglutide)Weekly Injection
An MHRA-licensed GLP-1 medication that achieved up to 15% body weight reduction in the STEP clinical trials. Our comprehensive programme, combining medication with lifestyle support, has shown an average of 21.55% weight loss in internal programme data. Individual results may vary.
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription-only weight loss medication containing semaglutide, manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It's a once-weekly subcutaneous injection specifically licensed in the UK for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your body that regulates appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Wegovy helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and makes it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan.
In November 2021, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved Wegovy for weight management in the UK. In the STEP clinical trial programme, participants achieved an average weight loss of approximately 15% when combined with lifestyle changes. Individual results may vary.
How Does Wegovy Work?
Wegovy works by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates your appetite and food intake through multiple mechanisms.
Appetite Regulation
Signals your brain's appetite centres to reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived.
Slows Digestion
Delays stomach emptying so food stays in your stomach longer, helping you feel fuller for longer after meals.
Blood Sugar Control
Stimulates insulin release and suppresses glucagon, helping maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.
Heart Protection
Clinical trials show Wegovy reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events by 20% in people with heart disease.
What Results Can You Expect?
In the landmark STEP 1 clinical trial involving over 1,900 adults with obesity, participants taking Wegovy achieved remarkable results:
Average body weight loss
Compared to 2.4% with placebo over 68 weeks
Lost at least 5% body weight
Clinically meaningful weight loss threshold
Reduced cardiovascular risk
Lower risk of heart attacks and strokes (SELECT trial)

Benefits Beyond Weight Loss
While most people seek Wegovy for weight loss, the medication delivers several additional health benefits that may be equally important for your long-term wellbeing.
Cardiovascular Protection
Wegovy holds unique status as the only weight loss medication specifically licensed to reduce cardiovascular risk. In the SELECT clinical trial of over 17,600 people with heart disease, Wegovy reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death by 20%.
Who benefits most from cardiovascular protection:
- People with a history of heart attack or stroke
- Adults with diagnosed cardiovascular disease
- Those with high blood pressure, cholesterol, or obesity
Blood Sugar Control
Wegovy delivers powerful blood sugar improvements, even though it isn't licensed specifically for Type 2 diabetes treatment (Ozempic, containing the same active ingredient, is the version licensed for diabetes).
How Wegovy helps manage blood sugar:
- Stimulates insulin release after eating
- Suppresses glucagon (reduces liver glucose production)
- Slows stomach emptying (prevents blood sugar spikes)
