About this medicine
Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch is administered as a once-weekly injection. It is generally injected under the skin in your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Get the injection on the same day each week, at a similar time, to maintain consistent levels in your body. Along with the treatment, maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly for maximum benefits.
The most common side effects of Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve as the body adjusts to treatment. Eating smaller meals or avoiding heavy, fried foods may help ease symptoms like nausea or an upset stomach. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor for advice.
Before starting Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, particularly a history of pancreatitis, eye problems caused by diabetes (diabetic retinopathy), thyroid cancer, or severe gastrointestinal problems. This medicine is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Additionally, discuss with your doctor if you are on medications for type 2 diabetes, such as insulin or sulfonylureas; combining Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch with these medications can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Your doctor may need to adjust your medicine dosage to ensure safe use.
How to use
Risk Reduction of Heart disease
Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch helps lower the risk of serious heart-related problems such as heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death in adults who already have heart disease and are overweight or obese. It works by improving body weight, blood sugar levels, and other metabolic factors that contribute to the development of heart disease. When used along with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity, it may help reduce cardiovascular risk.
Management of Obesity
Wegovy 0.25mg FlexTouch supports long-term weight loss and weight maintenance in adults with obesity, adults with overweight who have at least one weight-related health condition, and adolescents aged 12 years and older with obesity.
