Wegovy Treatment at Chappells Pharmacy
Transform your weight management journey with Wegovy (semaglutide), a clinically proven prescription medication for significant and sustainable weight loss. Chappells Pharmacy offers professional consultation and prescription services to support your health goals, whether you’re beginning your weight loss journey or seeking long-term weight management solutions.
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, resulting in:
- Reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness
- Decreased food cravings and portion sizes
- Slowed gastric emptying, keeping you fuller for longer
- Improved blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes
When used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Wegovy has been shown to help people lose an average of 15% of their body weight, making it one of the most effective non-surgical weight management treatments available.
Wegovy is recommended for:
- Adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity)
- Adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) who have at least one weight-related health condition, such as:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Sleep apnoea
- Individuals who have previously struggled with diet and exercise alone
- Those seeking medically supervised weight management
- People looking for long-term weight management solutions
- Individuals ready to commit to lifestyle changes alongside medication
