This pre-filled pen by Wegovy is a self-injectable treatment for individuals aged 12 or above. It is prescribed to people who are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have to regulate their weight and blood sugar levels. This medication binds and stimulates GLP-1 receptors in your brain, which controls your appetite by reducing the rate of digestion and delaying gastric emptying. It functions with the receptors in the pancreas to elevate the production of insulin and reduce the glucose produced in the intestine when sugar levels are high. All of this is achieved because of Semaglutide, present in this medication as its main ingredient.
