Semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy, is the latest drug approved by the National Institutes of Health (Nice) for routine use within the NHS. It’s a weekly weight loss jab to keep hunger at bay. Semaglutide is intended to be used with a diet and exercise program to improve health in overweight or obese people.
It’s not a lifestyle drug for the already slim person who wants to lose a few more pounds.
Semaglutide contains a hormone-mimicking compound called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps the pancreas release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. It slows down emptying of the stomach and suppresses appetite, making you feel full.
This drug has helped people lose up to 15% of their body weight. However, in clinical trials, people complained of side effects such as constipation, nausea, vomiting, headache, and diarrhea.
