الأسئلة المتكررة

How long does it take to see noticeable results with Wegovy FlexTouch?

Results may vary from person to person. Some individuals may start experiencing weight loss within a few weeks of using Wegovy FlexTouch, while others may take longer. Consistency in medication use, combined with a healthy lifestyle, is key to achieving and maintaining weight loss.

Are there any dietary restrictions while taking Wegovy?

While there are no specific dietary restrictions with Wegovy, it's recommended to follow a reduced-calorie diet as advised by your healthcare provider to enhance weight loss efforts.

How does Wegovy help with weight loss?

Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. By acting on the hunger centers in your brain and slowing down how fast your stomach empties, it helps you feel fuller for longer and reduces cravings. This makes it physically easier to eat smaller portions and stick to a reduced-calorie diet without constantly fighting against hunger.

Why does the dose increase over time?

You will not start on the full strength immediately. To give your body time to adjust to the medication and minimize potential side effects like nausea, you begin with a low starting dose. This dose is gradually increased every four weeks until you reach the standard maintenance dose. This step-by-step approach is essential for ensuring the treatment remains comfortable and safe for you.

How often do I need to inject it?

Wegovy is designed for convenience and only requires one injection per week. You administer it yourself under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The pen is designed to be user-friendly, allowing you to easily fit the treatment into your weekly routine without needing frequent doctor visits.
