What is the active ingredient in Wegovy 2.4mg Injection?

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Wegovy 2.4mg Injection is semaglutide 2.4mg.

What is Wegovy 2.4mg Injection Used For?

Weight Loss and Maintenance

Wegovy 2.4mg supports weight loss and helps keep the weight off when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. It is designed for adults who:

  • Have a BMI of 30 or higher (obese), or
  • Have a BMI between 27 and 30 (overweight) with related health issues.

BMI (Body Mass Index) measures your weight relative to your height.

Usage in Teens

Wegovy is also prescribed for teenagers aged 12 and older who:

  • Are obese, and
  • Weigh more than 60 kg.

Teens should continue using Wegovy only if they achieve at least a 5% reduction in BMI after 12 weeks at the 2.4mg dose or the highest dose they can tolerate. Always consult with your doctor before continuing treatment.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Wegovy may lower the risk of serious heart conditions—such as heart attacks and strokes—in adults with a history of heart disease who are overweight or obese (BMI of 27 or higher). This benefit is most effective when used together with a healthy diet and exercise.

How Wegovy 2.4mg Works

Mechanism of Action

Wegovy 2.4mg contains semaglutide 2.4mg, a substance that mimics the natural hormone GLP-1. GLP-1 helps control appetite and calorie intake by binding to receptors in the brain that govern hunger and fullness.

Effects on the Brain

Semaglutide targets key brain regions involved in food regulation, including the hypothalamus and brainstem, and also influences areas linked to the pleasure of eating such as the septum, thalamus, and amygdala.

Blood Sugar Control and Digestion

Clinical studies show that semaglutide lowers blood sugar by boosting insulin production and reducing glucagon when glucose levels are high. It also slows stomach emptying after meals, which helps you feel full longer. During low blood sugar episodes, it minimizes insulin release without affecting glucagon levels.

Cardiovascular Impact

The exact way semaglutide reduces heart-related risks is still under investigation.

Who Should Not Use Wegovy 2.4mg Injection?

Avoid Using Wegovy If:

  • You are allergic to semaglutide or any other ingredient in the medication.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Digestive Issues:
    If you experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, these side effects could lead to dehydration. It’s important to drink plenty of fluids, especially if you have kidney problems. Consult your doctor with any concerns.
  • Pancreatitis:
    Seek immediate medical help if you develop severe, persistent pain in your stomach, as this could indicate pancreatitis (acute inflammation of the pancreas).
  • Diabetes Management:
    Wegovy should not replace insulin. It may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so your doctor may need to adjust your sulfonylurea or insulin dosage. Monitor your blood sugar closely.
  • Diabetic Eye Disease:
    Rapid improvement in blood sugar control might temporarily worsen diabetic eye disease. If you experience eye problems, talk to your doctor immediately.
  • Children and Adolescents:
    Wegovy is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
    • Pregnancy: Do not use Wegovy if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as its effects on the unborn child are unknown. Contraception is advised while on this medication, and you should stop using it at least two months before planning a pregnancy.
    • Breastfeeding: This medication should not be used while breastfeeding, as it is unclear if it passes into breast milk.
  • Driving and Machinery:
    While Wegovy typically does not impair your ability to drive or operate machines, some people may experience dizziness, especially during the first three months of treatment. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.
  • Additional for Diabetics:
    If you are taking Wegovy with sulfonylureas or insulin, you may experience hypoglycemia, which can affect your concentration. Avoid driving if you notice symptoms of low blood sugar such as headache, drowsiness, or confusion.
