How effective is Wegovy for weight loss?
Wegovy has proven to be very effective in reducing body weight, especially when compared to other weight loss medicines. This weekly weight loss injection works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle and reduced calorie diet.
Aside from its primary role in aiding weight loss, Wegovy treatment offers additional health benefits. For instance, it can improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes which reduces the risk of diabetes related complications. Losing weight on Wegovy can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol which helps maintaining a healthy heart.
Clinical trials have shown that Wegovy is very effective for weight loss.
Cardiovascular Benefits of Wegovy
Wegovy is now approved in the UK to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in people with cardiovascular disease. Recent studies (SELECT trial - See section 5.1) have showed a 20% reduction in cardiovascular events among users of Wegovy.
This makes Wegovy the first obesity medication in the UK licensed for cardiovascular risk reduction. It works by promoting weight loss, improving blood vessel function, and reducing inflammation—key factors in heart disease prevention.
Alternative weight loss treatments
If Wegovy is not suitable for whatever reason, Click Pharmacy, has a number of alternative weight loss treatments available. These include:

Directions
Wegovy dosage instructions
Wegovy is available in different dosages and comes in a pre-filled pen. The pen comes in doses of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg of semaglutide pre-filled injections.
The dosage of Wegovy is gradually increased over time. That means the recommended dose schedule starts at 0.25 mg and increases gradually on a monthly basis to the maximum dose. So, by month three you'll be using the Wegovy 1mg pen. This is achieved over a 16-week period with once-weekly injections.
The reason for this gradual increase is to minimise side effects. As the body gets used to Wegovy, you become tolerant to higher doses.
This chart presents the dosage schedule for Wegovy from the initial weeks and progressing to the maintenance phase.
How to use Wegovy
There are three different areas recommended for injecting Wegovy. They are the following areas:
- Directly under the skin of the upper arms,
- Stomach (two inches away from the belly button) or
- Front area of the thigh
It’s highly recommended to alternate injection sites to reduce discomfort or skin irritation.
Before administering, ensure the injection is at room temperature and check the solution for any discoloration. Additionally, keep the injection site clean using an alcohol swab. If needed apply pressure to the injected area using a gauze pad or cotton wool.
- Replace the needle after every use and use a new needle for every injection.
- Always keep the cap on when the pen isn’t in use.
- Make sure you adhere to injection techniques as instructed.
