Supporting Your Weight Loss Journey
Wegovy, containing the active ingredient semaglutide, is an injectable medication designed to assist in weight loss. It is primarily indicated for individuals with a BMI of over 30 or for those with a BMI exceeding 27 if they have associated health conditions such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. The medication works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite, thus helping to reduce food intake.
Unlike many weight-loss treatments, Wegovy is administered once weekly, making it convenient for long-term use. It’s important to note that Wegovy weight loss injections must be used in conjunction with a calorie-restricted diet and an increase in physical activity to achieve optimal weight loss results.
Semaglutide, the active substance, is also found in Ozempic, a drug approved in the UK for treating type 2 diabetes. However, while Ozempic helps manage blood sugar levels in diabetics, Wegovy is specifically formulated and licensed for weight management with a different dosing regimen.
Schedule an appointment for the weight loss service of your choice at a date and time that works for you. If you're uncertain about which service is right for you, no need to worry – we’ll review all the options and help you choose the best one.
Our weight loss service appointments are up to 30 minutes long, during which our dedicated pharmacists provide individualized lifestyle advice and thoroughly discuss treatment options customized for you.
After consulting with our pharmacists, you are ready to begin the weight loss treatment that best suits your personal needs. Our pharmacists will continue to offer consistent support and guidance to help ensure your journey toward reaching your health goals is successful and fully supported.
The Wegovy dosage is gradually increased every four weeks over a 16-week period. Patients begin with a weekly dose of 0.25 mg for the first four weeks, then slowly raise the dosage until reaching the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once weekly from week 17 onwards.
This gradual increase is important because it helps reduce the risk of side effects. If side effects do occur, they are more likely to appear during the dose escalation phase and typically improve afterward.
Clinical trials have shown that Wegovy leads to significant weight loss compared to a placebo over 68 weeks. In one study, participants using Wegovy saw an average weight reduction of 14.9%, much greater than the 2.4% in the placebo group.
Moreover, 83.5% of patients on Wegovy lost at least 5% of their body weight, compared to just 31.1% in the placebo group. Another trial confirmed these findings, reporting a notable weight decrease compared to placebo. Given these strong results, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved Wegovy for managing obesity.
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, is part of a group of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs replicate the effects of a natural hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which is vital for managing appetite and the feeling of fullness.
By mimicking this hormone, Wegovy targets receptors in the brain that regulate appetite, leading to a sense of fullness and reduced hunger. This, in turn, helps lower food cravings. When used alongside a calorie-restricted diet and increased exercise, this mechanism can aid in weight loss.
As with any medication, some people may experience side effects while taking Wegovy. However, it’s important to understand that not everyone will, and in most instances, these side effects are mild. Common side effects linked to Wegovy include headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and fatigue.
These typically lessen over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Gradually increasing the dosage every four weeks helps reduce the chances of side effects. If your side effects are severe or persist, it’s recommended to consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Clinical studies have shown that weight loss pens can lead to significant weight reduction. Results from various trials include:
Up to 12.4% decrease in body weight from the starting point (an average of 22–24 pounds lost) after 40 weeks of use.
Up to 15.1% decrease in body weight from the starting point (an average of 28–30 pounds lost) after 52 weeks of use.
Yes, weight loss pens are approved by health authorities and have undergone rigorous testing for safety and effectiveness. At Medipill Pharmacy, we only prescribe them after a thorough consultation to make sure they’re the right fit for your individual health needs.
Weight loss pens are generally suitable for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or above who have weight-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. At Medipill Pharmacy, a healthcare professional will review your medical history and personal goals to decide if weight loss pens are a safe and effective option for you.
While the weight loss pen helps manage your appetite, pairing it with a healthy diet and regular physical activity can significantly improve your results and support long-term success. At Medipill Pharmacy, our team will help you create a personalized lifestyle plan to complement your weight loss pen consultation.
Starting is easy! Just book a consultation with one of our weight loss experts at Medipill Pharmacy. We’ll evaluate if a weight loss pen is right for you, address any questions you have, and walk you through the process step by step.
