An injectable medication for chronic weight management in adults. Same molecule as Ozempic, higher dose.
Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide at the higher 2.4 mg dose. It is the same molecule as Ozempic, marketed by the same manufacturer for a different FDA-approved indication. It is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class.[2][3]
In the STEP-1 randomized trial, 68 weeks of weekly 2.4 mg semaglutide produced a mean body-weight reduction of 14.9%, roughly 2.5× the weight loss seen at the Ozempic 1 mg dose. Wegovy is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension or dyslipidemia.[1]

What the trials actually showed.
We summarize results from the STEP program, the global Phase IIIa trials Novo Nordisk submitted to the FDA for the weight-management indication, and the SELECT cardiovascular outcomes trial. Numbers below are means at the 68-week endpoint, 2.4 mg weekly dose.
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.
The most common adverse events in STEP trials were nausea (44%), diarrhea (30%), and vomiting (24%), more frequent at the 2.4 mg dose than at Ozempic doses, but typically transient.[1] Serious events were rare but include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and an FDA boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors based on rodent data.[8]
Most directories hide the price. We don't.
Cash prices vary roughly 50× between the brand-name retail rate and a manufacturer savings card. The number you actually pay depends on your insurance plan, your diagnosis code, and which pharmacy fills the script. Here are the ranges, plainly.
