Your brain gets signals from different places in your body. Some of these signals are called appetite hormones, like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which help regulate how much food you eat. Wegovy® (semaglutide) works like GLP-1 to regulate appetite and calorie intake by helping to reduce appetite, so you eat less and lose weight.
The Wegovy® pen was the first once-weekly GLP-1 approved by the FDA for weight loss.
