The main ingredient? Semaglutide, a synthetic version of the GLP-1 hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. But besides that, it also contains a few inactive ingredients to keep it stable and effective, like:

Water (because hydration is everything)
Sodium chloride (aka salt—nothing fancy)
Phosphoric acid (balances pH)
Glycine (an amino acid)
Polysorbate 80 (helps everything mix smoothly)
Sucrose (yes, a tiny bit of sugar)

Wegovy starts working behind the scenes right away, but you’ll likely start noticing changes within a few weeks. The real weight-loss magic happens around 2 to 3 months in, as it gradually reduces appetite and cravings. The key? Consistency—sticking with it, fueling your body with good food, and staying active will help maximize results.

Like any med, Wegovy can come with some side effects, but most of them ease up as your body adjusts. The most common ones include:

Nausea, vomiting, or stomach issues (your gut might need a minute to catch up)
Constipation or diarrhea (not the most fun, but usually temporary)
Heartburn, reflux, or bloating (your digestive system doing its thing)
Dizziness, headaches, or fatigue (your body adapting to the changes)

If anything feels off or doesn’t go away, always check in with your doctor. Your health comes first!

Wegovy is specifically approved by the FDA for weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

It is a once-a-week injection, super easy to add to your routine.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember within 5 days. If it’s been longer, just skip it and take your next dose on schedule.
