How long do you take Wegovy for weight loss?

You can take Wegovy long-term as part of a sustained weight management plan. There’s no fixed end date. People often stay on until they reach a healthy BMI (18.5-25) or a pre-set goal.

How Wegovy works

Wegovy is clinically proven to curb your appetite and reduce cravings. When taken once a week, it supports safe and reliable weight loss over time. This, along with its positive effect on heart health, makes it a highly effective weight loss treatment trusted by thousands worldwide.

Here’s how it works:

Wegovy: a simple and effective approach to weight management

Image 1

Mimics natural hormones

Wegovy mimics GLP-1, a natural hormone that controls appetite, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing cravings.

Reduces food intake

This makes you eat less and causes you to lose weight over time through natural appetite suppression.

Adjustable treatment

As your body adjusts, your dose can be increased and treatment becomes even more effective over time.

Long-term success

Once you reach your target BMI, maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise helps keep the weight off for good.


GLP-1 medications like Wegovy are some of the most effective weight loss treatments currently on the market. By reducing cravings and improving blood sugar control, they help people lose significant weight and keep it off, especially when paired with healthy eating and regular physical activity.

Dr. Caroline FontanaLead Prescribing Doctor

How long does Wegovy take to work?

Many people notice weight loss within the first 4 to 8 weeks of starting treatment with a GLP-1 medication. However, the full effects typically become more noticeable after a few months, especially when combined with diet and exercise.

Who is suitable for treatment?

Wegovy is suitable for adults over 18 with one or more of the following:

  • a BMI over 30
  • a BMI over 27 with a weight-related illness
  • an increased risk of serious heart problems

Safety is our top priority at 121doc, and only those who are suitable for treatment will receive it. To see if you could benefit from weight loss treatments, simply fill out a short consultation and our medical team will review your case in no time!

Wegovy should always be taken under medical guidance to ensure the right dosage, minimise risks, and maximise results. A consultation with a certified online healthcare provider like 121doc ensures quality care with a focus on safety.
