Wegovy^® is used for chronic weight management in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity in adults who have:

• a BMI* of 30 kg/m² or greater (with obesity), or
• a BMI* of 27 kg/m² and less than 30 kg/m² (overweight) and weight-related health problems.

* BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of your weight in relation to your height. See your doctor to have your BMI measured.

Wegovy^® is similar to a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that is released from the intestine after a meal. Wegovy^® works by causing you to feel more full and less hungry. Wegovy^® should be used along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Yes, they are. Wegovy^® is just one part of your weight management plan. Your healthcare team will recommend a reduced calorie diet and strategies to increase your physical activity.

There is no specific recommended diet to go along with Wegovy^®. However, Wegovy^® should be taken with a reduced calorie intake plan and increased physical activity.

Speak with your healthcare professional to develop a dietary strategy that will work for you that you will be able to sustain in the long term.  To learn more about the role of diet in managing your weight, connect with one of the program educators at wegovycare^®.*
