1Wegovy (Semaglutide 2.4mg)

Monthly cost at Slinic: £180-£200 (typically)

Average weight loss: 15% of body weight over 68 weeks (STEP trials)

How it works: Weekly injection that acts on GLP-1 receptors to reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve blood sugar control.

Advantages:

• Excellent effectiveness (second only to Mounjaro in trials)
• Available on NHS in some areas with less strict criteria than Mounjaro
• Well-studied with extensive clinical data
• Many patients find side effects manageable

Considerations:

• Lower average weight loss than Mounjaro (15% vs 22.5%)
