Wegovy 9mg 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 9mg tablet is part of the once daily Wegovy pill dose escalation plan, where treatment starts at 1.5mg once daily and the dose is increased every 30 days as tolerated until the maintenance dose is reached. Semaglutide works like the natural GLP 1 hormone, helping regulate appetite, food intake, and feelings of fullness. Wegovy tablets use SNAC technology, which helps semaglutide survive in the stomach and supports absorption into the bloodstream 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.
The most common side effects of Wegovy may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach abdominal pain, changes in skin sensations, headache, tiredness, upset stomach, dizziness, feeling bloated, belching, low blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, gas, stomach flu, heartburn, and hair loss. These are not all the possible side effects of Wegovy. Talk to your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you, becomes severe, or does not go away. Wegovy should not be used by 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 in pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes, kidney problems, pancreas problems, or before surgery
