Description
Wegovy 0.25mg is the initiation (starting) dose of the once-weekly Wegovy injection, prescribed for long-term weight management in adults with obesity, or overweight adults with a weight-related condition, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It is where every patient begins: taken for about four weeks to build tolerance and limit stomach side effects before the dose is increased.
The active ingredient, semaglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works like the natural GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite. It increases feelings of fullness and reduces hunger, helping you eat less. It is given as a once-weekly injection under the skin, not as a daily tablet.
Inject once a week, on the same day, at any time of day, with or without food, under the skin in your abdomen, thigh or upper arm, rotating the site each week. Each pre-filled pen holds four weekly doses (about one month at this strength) and the pack includes four needles; use a new needle each time. Before injecting, check that the solution is clear and colourless, and follow the technique your doctor or pharmacist shows you.
Store new, unused pens in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C, and do not freeze them. Once you start a pen, it can be kept below 30°C for the period stated on the pack. Keep the cap on when not in use, protect it from light, and keep it out of reach of children.
Wegovy 0.25mg (FlexTouch pen with 4 needles) is AED 743.50 at CHS Community Pharmacy. It is a prescription-only medicine, so a valid prescription from a licensed physician is required before it can be dispensed.
