Wegovy Information

Wegovy at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Wegovy (semaglutide) is manufactured by Novo Nordisk and is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada. Generic semaglutide is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Brand Wegovy is commonly available as a prefilled pen injector in strengths of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg per injection. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription injection for adults and children aged 12 and older to help manage weight, especially for those who are obese or overweight and have at least one related health condition, like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. It is meant to be used along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. In addition, Wegovy can help lower the risk of severe heart problems, such as heart attack, stroke, or death from heart disease, in adults who already have cardiovascular disease and are overweight or obese.

Mechanism of Action:
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1RA). It acts like a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1. It helps control appetite by affecting the brain, making you feel less hungry and fuller, which can lead to eating fewer calories. It also slows down how quickly food leaves the stomach, which further supports fullness and helps prevent spikes in blood sugar. For people with type 2 diabetes, it can help the body release more insulin and reduce the production of glucagon when blood sugar is high, which helps lower glucose levels. These effects together can lead to meaningful and lasting weight loss. Wegovy is given as a once-weekly injection under the skin.

Take Wegovy exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the medication guide accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Wegovy, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Wegovy, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the Product Monograph.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Wegovy. Wegovy may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Medications that affect blood sugar – Some drugs, such as certain steroids or antipsychotics, may raise blood sugar and could influence how semaglutide works.
• Oral medications absorbed through the stomach – Because semaglutide slows gastric emptying, it can affect how quickly or how much of other oral medicines are absorbed.This can alter the effectiveness of certain drugs, including some antibiotics, blood pressure medicines, or heart medications.
• Other diabetes medications – Drugs like insulin or sulfonylureas may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used with semaglutide. Dose adjustments may be needed.
• Other GLP-1 receptor agonists – Using multiple GLP-1 medicines together isn’t recommended because it may increase side effects without added benefit.
• Warfarin and other blood thinners – While interactions are less common, changes in gastric emptying or nutrition could slightly affect how these drugs are absorbed.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
Wegovy is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Based on animal studies, there is a potential risk of fetal harm. Females of reproductive potential must use effective contraception while taking Wegovy. Due to the long half-life of semaglutide, stop using this medicine at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy. Women who become pregnant while on Wegovy should contact their doctor immediately. It is not known if Wegovy passes into human breast milk. Due to the potential for severe adverse reactions in the infant, consult your doctor to weigh the risks and benefits before breastfeeding while using this medication.
