Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Or the shrinking elephant, to be more accurate. 

Semaglutide has now become a household name. It’s primarily used in the treatment for Type 2 Diabetes under the medication name, Ozempic, and now its being hailed as the drug (Wegovy) that can end ob*sity. 

Let’s break this down a little. 

Is Wegovy effective for weight loss? 
So far, studies have shown some success. The results can vary WIDELY. About 50% of study participants have seen anywhere from 5-15% losses in total body weight. Some saw ZERO changes. That’s a lot higher than dieting’s dismall 2-3 % success rate, but it’s still not 100%. 

Are there any side effects? 
Yes, a large percentage of study participants have gastrointestinal side effects including constipation, nausea, diarrhea and cramping. Hair loss, dizziness, fatigue and abdominal pain are also common. 

Is this a pill or injection?
