What is Wegovy, and what is it used for?
Wegovy is a prescription-only, GLP-1 receptor weight loss medication containing Semaglutide as the main ingredient. Injected once weekly, it has shown 15% weight loss over 68 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes.
What is a GLP-1, and how does Wegovy help patients lose weight?
GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone responsible for regulating appetite and helping you stay full for a long time. Wegovy mimics the action of GLP-1 and helps your body stay satiated by controlling appetite and reducing cravings.
Studies have shown that eating habits become easier to control when combined with sustained physical activity. Wegovy is effective because it directly acts on appetite pathways, so patients don’t have to rely on willpower alone.
Over time, this change in appetite helps create a sustained calorie deficit—crucial for meaningful weight loss. Step by step, people build consistent routines around food, activity, and sleep—the pillars of long-term weight management.
What are the eligibility criteria for Wegovy?
Wegovy is intended for adults who meet the following criteria:
- BMI of 30 kg/m² or above
- Or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or above with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or pre-diabetes
You can buy Wegovy online through The Care Pharmacy with a simple consultation to confirm your suitability. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and assess any risks to ensure treatment is safe and effective.
What is the dosing schedule for Wegovy?
Wegovy is administered once weekly using a pre-filled pen. The starting dose is 0.25 mg and is gradually increased every four weeks based on your body’s response. This slow titration helps minimise side effects.

In the first few weeks, many people feel full sooner during meals and are less tempted by large portions or late-night snacks. To get the best results, we recommend:
- Creating a realistic meal plan
- Staying active with daily movement
- Following a structured workout schedule
- Maintaining proper hydration
How does Wegovy cost vary according to the dosage?
Wegovy prices generally increase with the dose. Lower doses are typically more affordable, but they are only used for a short adjustment period.
Most people remain on the 2.4mg weekly injection for long-term use, and that’s where the true cost is reflected.
That’s why The Care Pharmacy offers some of the most affordable prices for Wegovy in the UK—without hidden fees. Whether you’re starting out or on the maintenance dose, we provide competitive pricing across all strengths.

Thank you for your message. Appetite control can vary during the early stages of Wegovy treatment, and many patients notice improved effects as the dose is gradually increased. If your current dose is not providing adequate appetite suppression, a clinical review may be needed to assess whether a dose adjustment or alternative approach is appropriate. Please share your current dose, duration of use, and any side effects so our team can advise you safely.
