Semaglutide is the active component of the drug Wegovy. Adults who are overweight or obese and have health issues related to their weight can use it to help manage their weight. Semaglutide functions by imitating the actions of a hormone that aids in controlling hunger and food consumption. You can lose weight by eating less, feeling fuller sooner, and experiencing fewer cravings. Adults with a high body mass index (BMI) who want to reduce weight and enhance their general health can benefit from Wegovy.
