Are you looking for a weight loss solution but hesitant about injections? The new Wegovy® pill might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. At MiraMed and Day Spa, we’re excited to introduce the oral version of Wegovy® (semaglutide) — a groundbreaking weight loss pill designed for people who want a convenient, needle-free way to manage their weight.
What is the Wegovy® Pill?
Wegovy® is a prescription medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone in your body responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. Originally available only as an injection, Wegovy® is now offered in a once-daily tablet form, making it a more approachable option for those who prefer to avoid needles.
Wegovy® is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to support lasting weight loss. It’s suitable for:
Adults with obesity
Adults who are overweight with at least one weight-related medical condition (like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol)
Adults with existing heart disease, helping reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or even death
How Does the Wegovy® Pill Work?
The wegovy pill works by targeting areas of the brain that regulate appetite. Semaglutide, the active ingredient, is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Here’s how it helps:
Suppresses appetite: You feel fuller sooner and stay full longer.
Slows digestion: This leads to fewer hunger cravings between meals.
Helps manage blood sugar: An added benefit for those with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
Supports long-term weight management: With consistent use, it becomes easier to lose weight and keep it off.
Unlike other weight loss pills that rely on stimulants or diuretics, Wegovy® works with your body’s natural processes, promoting safe, sustainable weight loss.
