Why Wegovy injections?
The main benefits may include:

1. Wegovy (Semaglutide) is 94% similar to natural human GLP-1 and therefore acts as a physiological regulator of appetite and thereby reducing food intake by reducing feelings of hunger and increasing feelings of fullness/satiety. The exact underlying mechanism of action is

2. Wegovy is a newly licensed medication indicated for the treatment of type-2 diabetes. It is currently undergoing clinical trial to gain a license for the treatment of obesity. In the meantime, your medical practitioner may prescribe this medication for you 'off-label'

3. For long term success the treatment needs to be combined with lifestyle changes including nutritional, exercise and behavioural habits.

4. Weight loss can lead to secondary benefits by improving weight loss related health problems such as cardiovascular risk factors (including hypertension, blood glucose levels and waist circumference) and physical health-related Quality of Life.

I understand that I have the right to be informed of the procedure, any feasible alternative options, and the risks and benefits. Except in emergencies, procedures are not performed until I have had an opportunity to receive such information and to give my informed consent.

Since every human being is unique, we cannot guarantee any specific result from Wegovy treatment. Medication and or medical conditions may have a negative impact on the outcomes as well as lifestyle factors. Treatment should be discontinued after 12 weeks if the patient has not lost at least 5% of their initial body weight.

Patients need to follow the instructions carefully as provided separately in the patient instruction sheet. Patients must agree to notify their practitioner of any contraindications or side effects of the treatment.

We will write to your GP to notify them of details of the program and any blood results (if completed).

It is essential to engage with the 2 weekly telephone review and monthly face-to-face reviews with your doctor throughout the treatment program.
HEALTH CONCERNS: If you suffer from a medical or pathological condition, you need to consult with an appropriate healthcare provider such as your GP or Consultant. If you are under the care of another healthcare provider, it is important that you inform your other healthcare providers of your use of Wegovy. If you are using medications of any kind, you are required to alert us of.

Note:If you have any physicalor emotional reaction to Wegovy treatment, discontinue use immediately, and contactyour PRACTITIONER to ascertain if the reaction is adverse or an indication of the natural course of the body's adjustment to the treatment.

1. Full blood count
2. Liver function test
3. Kidney Function Tests
4. Cholesterol levels, HbA1c, Glucose
Patient groups who may require blood test monitoring at additional cost:

COMMUNICATION: Every client is an individual, and it is not possible to determine in advance how your system will react to the treatment. It is sometimes necessary to adjust your program as we proceed. It is your responsibility to do your part by following healthy dietary guidelines, exercise your body and make necessary behavioural modifications.

1. Alternatives to Wegovy therapy are surgical procedures, oral medical treatments (including Orlistat) and / or dietary and lifestyle changes alone.

2. Several weeks to months of treatment may be required depending on your individual response.

3. If a missed dose is more than 5 days late, the missed dose should not be taken, and the next dose should be taken at the normal time.

4. It is essential to combine eating, exercise and behavioural modifications with Wegovy.

5. Wegovy should not be used in combination with another GLP-1 receptor agonist, insulin or insulin secretagogues (such as sulfonylureas) due to the risk of hypoglycaemia.

6. Upon initiation of Wegovy treatment in patients on warfarin or other coumarin derivatives more frequent monitoring of International Normalised Ratio (INR) is recommended.

7. Wegovy causes a delay of gastric emptying and has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Monitor for potential consequences of delayed absorption of oral medications concomitantly administered with Wegovy.

8. There are several special warnings and precautions for use of Wegovy including warnings on pancreatitis, cholelithiasis and cholecystitis, thyroid disease, heart rate, dehydration and hypoglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes.

9. Thyroid adverse events, such as goitre have been reported in particular in patients with pre-existing thyroid disease. Wegovy should therefore be used with caution in patients with thyroid disease.

10. A higher rate of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis (gallstone and gallbladder disease) has been observed in patients treated with semaglutide. Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis may lead to hospitalisation and cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gallbladder Patients should be aware of the characteristic symptoms of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.

11. Signs and symptoms of dehydration, including renal impairment and acute renal failure, have been reported in patients treated with Semaglutide. Patients treated with semaglutide should be advised of the potential risk of dehydration in relation to gastrointestinal side effects and take precautions to avoid fluid depletion. Patients should also be aware of the symptoms of increased heart rate.

12. Acute pancreatitis has been observed with the use of Semaglutide. Patients and their carers should be told how to recognise signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis and advised to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms develop. If pancreatitis is suspected, semaglutide should be discontinued; if acute pancreatitis is confirmed, semaglutide should not be restarted.

13. Wegovy may cause dose-dependent and Itreatment-duration-dependent thyroid C-cell tumours at clinically relevant exposures in both genders of rats and mice. It is unknown whether Wegovy causes thyroid C-cell tumours, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (cancer, MTC), in humans, as the human relevance of semaglutide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumours has not been determined. Patients should be aware of symptoms of thyroid tumours (such as a mass in the neck, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, persistent hoarseness

- Nausea
- constipation
- decresed appetite

Nausea is the most common side effect when first starting Wegovy, but decreases over time for most people as their body gets used to the medicine.
