Product details
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) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight‑related comorbidity, and to reduce cardiovascular risk in adults with established cardiovascular disease and BMI ≥27. The 1 mg dose is taken once weekly during weeks 9‑12 of treatment as part of the 16‑week titration protocol. Moderate Therapeutic Dose for Weight Loss: The 1 mg dose (weeks 9‑12) is the third step in the Wegovy titration schedule, where meaningful weight loss begins—patients can expect appetite suppression of 25‑35% and improved insulin sensitivity, with weight loss of 5‑8% total body weight by week 12 Foundation for Clinically Proven Weight Loss: When followed through to the 2.4 mg maintenance dose, Wegovy produced a mean weight loss of up to 15.6% in the STEP UP trial, with the 1 mg dose playing a key role in gradually building tolerance before reaching the target dose Reduces Cardiovascular Risk (as part of full regimen): When continued to the 2.4 mg maintenance dose, semaglutide is proven to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, non‑fatal heart attack, or non‑fatal stroke) by 20% in adults with established cardiovascular disease and BMI ≥27 kg/m² Once‑Weekly, Flexible Dosing: Administer subcutaneously once weekly in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, at any time of day, with or without meals Composition Each prefilled pen contains 4 mg semaglutide in 3 mL (1.34mg/mL) Directions for Use Use as prescribed by the physician.
