Wegovy 1 mg (Semaglutide)

Wegovy 1 mg is a prescription glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist pen used as the third step in the standard dose-escalation schedule for chronic weight management. It is indicated for:

• Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²)

• Adults who are overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m²) with at least one weight-related comorbidity

The 1 mg dose is typically used once weekly during weeks 9–12 of treatment as part of a structured titration protocol.

Key Benefits

• Essential step in building tolerance before reaching maintenance dose (2.4 mg)

• Once-weekly injection with convenient administration
