Wegovy® (Semaglutide) Medical Weight Loss

Updated: June 26, 2025

Do you know the 8 reasons Wegovy is making headlines, and why so many people are interested in using it for weight loss?

  1. Semaglutide (Wegovy) is a GLP-1 weekly injection that is FDA approved for weight loss treatment, and has been called a “Game Changer” in the fight against obesity.
  2. Slows stomach emptying and makes you feel satisfied with smaller amounts of food--so you eat fewer calories and feel fuller longer.
  3. Helps you produce more insulin, reducing the body's ability to turn food into fat--all while reducing your appetite and cravings.
  4. Clinical trials have shown that patients using Wegovy lost 15-20% of their total body weight.
  5. Semaglutide can also lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and reduce triglyceride levels--our patients love the benefits.
  6. Semaglutide is made even more effective as part of PrimeHealthMD's comprehensive physician led and personalized weight loss approach--imagine all the help you need and friendly accountability.
  7. Wegovy was approved by the US FDA as a weight loss medication in June 2021--but it has been available in other forms since 2017.

Has Research Shown Wegovy To Be Effective For Weight Loss?

Yes! Wegovy is considered by many to be the most effective FDA-approved weight loss medication for long-term weight management.

The New York Times published an article in February 2021 declaring Wegovy a “game-changer” after clinical trials were completed, and the results were in.

Here are the results showed from the 68-week medical study of 2,000 adults living with obesity or excess weight with related medical problems:

ADULTS LOST ON AVERAGE 35 LBS (or 15% of their total body weight) while taking Wegovy

We’ve found that PrimeHealthMD patients routinely lose at least 10% of their body weight.

Am I Eligible to Be Helped by Wegovy?

The answer is: it’s very likely you are!

Wegovy helps you lose weight and keep it off if you’re an adult who is:

  • Living with obesity (BMI ≥30)
  • Living with excess weight (BMI ≥27) and weight-related medical problems (such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol)

Weight loss medicine such as Wegovy may not be right for everyone. Depending on your needs and your insurance coverage, our doctors may prescribe a different medication.

Does Wegovy Have Side Effects? Are They Serious?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is generally safe and well-tolerated.

It is NOT a type of insulin or a substitute for insulin, and NOT a stimulant.

Side effects are possible with Wegovy, just as they are with other medications. Generally, side effects are mild and disappear as soon as your body adapts to the medication.

Here’s what has been found:

  • The potential for side effects can be minimized by gradually increasing the dosage over time.
  • Nausea was the most frequently reported adverse effect. The nausea can disappear over time as you continue to take Wegovy. Researchers found that participants were rarely forced to stop taking the medication due to nausea.
  • Constipation was another negative effect Wegovy users reported experiencing more frequently than others. However, again, these investigations did not find that constipation led to users discontinuing Wegovy.

If you have concerns regarding side effects, let’s talk. Our staff can fully and transparently inform you of these possible side effects, and also provide alternatives as needed.
