The Wegovy pill is a medication designed to support weight loss for individuals with overweight or obesity, including during menopause. It is non-hormonal and contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which works by reducing hunger, helping you to eat less. The Wegovy pill is intended for women with a BMI of 30 or higher, or from 27 if additional health risks are present, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor, which helps to reduce hunger and promotes a feeling of fullness more quickly. Always use Wegovy alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. This medication is only available with a prescription. Read here to learn more about how weight-loss medication during menopause could benefit you if losing weight has been a challenge.
