Wegovy is designed to have long-lasting effects on the body, with patients required to administer a dose subcutaneously once a week. The medication has a prolonged duration in the system, taking approximately seven days for the body to eliminate half of the administered dose. Wegovy often remains active in the system for five to seven weeks following the last dosage. This extended activity is particularly relevant for patients who might need to consider upcoming surgical interventions or other significant health events, such as anticipating pregnancy. Providers at Primary Care Center of Clear Lake ensure that patients understand how Wegovy functions, and how to use it appropriately and provide guidance on when it may be necessary to discontinue the medication as part of managing their health and preparing for any major medical procedures or life changes. With proper usage and adherence to a comprehensive medical weight management plan, Wegovy can help facilitate life-changing weight loss results among obese and overweight patients.
