What Is Wegovy?
Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide, a prescription-only injectable weight management medication licensed in the UK for chronic weight management in eligible adults. It is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled pen device.
Wegovy is manufactured by Novo Nordisk and is closely related to Ozempic (also semaglutide, approved for type 2 diabetes), but is licensed at higher doses specifically for chronic weight management. Treatment begins at a lower starting dose with gradual escalation under clinical guidance, designed to allow the body to adjust and minimise early gastrointestinal side effects.
How Does Wegovy Work?
Wegovy activates GLP-1 receptors, mimicking a gut hormone released after eating. This promotes feelings of fullness, reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying, and influences brain hunger signals, supporting reduced calorie intake and weight management over time.
How GLP-1 Receptor Activation Supports Weight Management
- Promotes satiety, supports earlier feelings of fullness after eating
- Slows gastric emptying, food remains in the stomach longer
- Acts on brain receptors involved in appetite regulation
- Supports blood glucose regulation alongside weight management
- Weekly injection schedule supported by semaglutide's long half-life
What Wegovy May Support
- Reduced appetite and food intake at meals
- Increased sense of fullness with smaller portions
- Gradual, sustained weight reduction over time
- Support for metabolic health markers in some patients
Important: Wegovy is not a cure for obesity. Outcomes depend on consistent use alongside dietary changes and regular monitoring. Individual responses vary significantly.
Who May Be Eligible for Wegovy Treatment?
Wegovy is generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or above alongside a weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease. Eligibility is always determined by a registered healthcare professional through a full clinical assessment.
General Eligibility Indicators
- BMI of 30 kg/m² or above
- BMI of 27 kg/m² or above with a weight-related health condition
- Adult (18 years or over)
- No personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
- No history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- Not currently pregnant or planning pregnancy
- No contraindications to semaglutide
The Clinical Assessment Process
A prescriber will assess your full medical history, current medications, contraindications, and appropriate starting dose. Pharmazon HomeCare supports this process by verifying every prescription before dispensing, clinical responsibility remains with your registered prescriber.

Why Cold-Chain Delivery Matters for Wegovy

- Medication does not contact coolant packs directly
- Post-delivery storage instructions provided
Storing Wegovy Safely
Store Wegovy pens in a refrigerator at 2°C–8°C before use. Do not freeze. Once removed from the fridge, a pen can be stored at room temperature below 30°C for up to 30 days. Keep in original carton, away from direct sunlight. Always check the patient information leaflet enclosed with your pen.
❄️ Before First Use
- Store at 2°C–8°C in the refrigerator
- Do NOT freeze, as frozen pens must not be used
- Keep away from the freezer compartment or ice packs
- Do not store in the fridge door
- Keep in original carton to protect from light
- Check expiry date before use
🌡️ After Removal from Fridge
- Store at room temperature below 30°C for up to 30 days
- Note the date removed on the pen carton
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Do not use a pen that has been frozen
- Discard after 30 days at room temperature
Used Wegovy pens contain a needle, dispose of them in an approved sharps container, not household waste. For travel, carry your pen in hand luggage and use a validated medical cool bag.

How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy (semaglutide) activates GLP-1 receptors, mimicking a naturally occurring gut hormone released after eating.
