Description

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a groundbreaking prescription-only treatment developed by Novo Nordisk for weight management in adults with a BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnoea.

Wegovy works by mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. By slowing digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness, it supports long-term lifestyle changes for sustainable weight loss.

Used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, clinical studies have shown that Wegovy can help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight over time. The Health Dispensary offers this treatment through our convenient, confidential, and fully regulated online prescribing service, with professional pharmacist support at every stage.
