Wegovy® Weight Loss Pen – safe, UK-Only Prescribing

Looking for a safe, medically supervised way to lose weight with Wegovy? At The Health Dispensary in Neath, our prescribing pharmacists provide genuine UK-supplied medication with personal care and monthly reviews — now available with UK-wide postal delivery.

What Is Wegovy?

Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and food intake. Taken once weekly via a pre-filled injection pen, Wegovy supports clinically significant weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

How Does Wegovy Work?

• Regulates appetite: acts on brain areas that control hunger, helping you feel full sooner.
• Slows gastric emptying: promotes fullness and can reduce overall calorie intake.
• Supports blood sugar control: enhances insulin secretion and lowers glucose, helpful where insulin resistance is present.

Benefits of Wegovy

• Effective weight loss: proven results when used alongside lifestyle support.
• Convenient: once-weekly dosing fits easily into routine.
• Supports healthier habits: reduced appetite helps you adopt and maintain better eating patterns.

Is Wegovy Right for You?

Wegovy may be suitable if you:

• Have a BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with weight-related conditions (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes).
• Have struggled to achieve or maintain weight loss through diet and activity alone.
• Are ready to commit to a structured plan with regular reviews.

A consultation with our prescribing pharmacist is required to confirm suitability and discuss alternatives such as our Mounjaro® service.
