What is Wegovy:
Wegovy is a medicine for weight loss and weight maintenance that contains the active substance

from the intestine after a meal. wegovy works by acting on receptors in the brain that control your
appetite, causing you to feel fuller and less hungry and experience less craving for food. This will help
you eat less food and reduce your body weight. wegovy should be used with a reduced calorie meal
plan and increased physical activity.
