Wegovy is used along with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or with overweight plus a weight-related condition
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, has emerged as a treatment option for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions
