Wegovy 1.5mg GLP 1 Pill is a prescription oral weight management medicine containing semaglutide, a GLP 1 receptor agonist used together with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. It is made for adults with obesity or adults who are overweight with at least one weight related medical condition, to support weight loss and help keep the weight off when prescribed by a healthcare professional. The 1.5mg tablet is the starting once daily dose in the Wegovy pill dosing plan, and the dose may be increased gradually every 30 days as tolerated until the maintenance dose is reached, only under medical supervision. Semaglutide works by acting like the natural GLP 1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite, food intake, and feelings of fullness. The tablet also uses SNAC technology, which supports oral absorption of semaglutide in the stomach so the medicine can work effectively when taken by mouth. Wegovy should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach with water only, and users should wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other oral medicines. It should not be crushed, cut, chewed, dissolved, shared with others, or taken more than once daily. This medicine is not suitable for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2, or serious allergy to semaglutide, and medical advice is required before use, especially in pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes, kidney problems, pancreas problems, or before surgery.
