What is the ‘Wegovy’ weight loss pill?
The daily pill works similarly to the Mounjaro and Wegovy weekly weight loss injections by improving feelings of fullness, reducing cravings, and regulating blood sugar levels.
Clinical trials have shown that patients who are overweight or obese and taking Wegovy 25mg achieved a weight loss of 16.6% over 64 weeks.
This new approach to weight loss means people who may have been hesitant to use weight-loss injections now have an option that works for them to achieve their health goals.
