Wegovy®
Specialized Medical Treatment for Obesity
Obesity is a chronic disease that requires a comprehensive, individualized, and evidence-based medical approach. It is not only about losing weight, but about improving metabolic health, preventing complications, and restoring quality of life.
In this context, Wegovy® (semaglutide) represents one of the most extensively studied and specifically indicated pharmacological options for the treatment of obesity—provided it is prescribed and supervised by medical specialists.
At INOBESID, a clinic specialized in bariatrics and bariatric surgery, we professionally assess whether Wegovy is appropriate for each patient and integrate it into a complete and safe medical treatment plan.
What Is Wegovy and How Does It Work in the Body?
Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable medication whose active ingredient is semaglutide, a GLP-1 analog specifically designed for the medical management of obesity.
Its mechanism of action helps to:
- Decrease appetite
- Increase the feeling of fullness
- Naturally reduce caloric intake
- Improve metabolic parameters
- Promote progressive and sustained weight loss
Unlike other treatments, Wegovy is formulated and approved specifically for the medical treatment of obesity, not solely for glucose control.
Who May Be a Candidate for Wegovy?
Wegovy may be considered in patients who:
- Have obesity or overweight with comorbidities
- Have attempted weight loss without sustained success
- Present metabolic alterations associated with excess weight
- Are seeking a medical alternative before considering bariatric surgery
- Require pharmacological support as part of a comprehensive treatment plan
Proper indication always depends on a complete medical evaluation, clinical studies, and individual health objectives.
Does Wegovy Replace Bariatric Surgery?
No. These are different and complementary strategies.
At INOBESID, we understand that:
- Some patients achieve favorable results with medical treatment
- Others require bariatric surgery for deeper and more effective disease control
- In certain cases, Wegovy may be used as support before or after surgery
Treatment selection is made during consultation, based on medical judgment, clinical experience, and a long-term approach.
The Importance of Specialized Medical Follow-Up
Using Wegovy without medical supervision may limit results or increase the risk of side effects. Professional management allows:
- Safe dose adjustments
- Monitoring of the body’s response to treatment
- Early detection and control of adverse effects
- Integration of nutrition, lifestyle habits, and metabolic follow-up
At INOBESID, obesity treatment is not improvised—it is structured, medical, and personalized.
