What is Wegovy?
Wegovy, a semaglutide-based medication, is approved for managing weight and obesity when combined with diet and exercise.
Available only through specialist clinics and private healthcare services, it is administered through a weekly injection under the skin.
In addition to weight loss, it is known to reduce heart attacks and stroke risk in overweight or obese individuals with heart disease. It is the first obesity medication in the UK approved to specifically address cardiovascular risks in this population.
How It Works
Wegovy targets appetite-regulating brain regions, increasing fullness and reducing hunger. It also lowers blood sugar levels by encouraging insulin release.
Effectiveness
Studies have shown that people using Wegovy with lifestyle support for 15 months lost an average of 15% body weight. Plus a 20% reduction in heart disease-related events, such as heart attacks or strokes, in those taking Wegovy.
Diet and Exercise
Diet and exercise remain essential for optimizing results and preventing weight regain post-treatment.
Side Effects and Long-term Risks
Common side effects include nausea and diarrhoea. Rare but serious risks include gall bladder issues, pancreatitis, and kidney problems. Treatment is limited to two years, with long-term risks still under investigation.
Our UK GPs will conduct a thorough assessment as part of your weight loss journey and, if deemed safe, will prescribe this medication tailored to your individual needs.
Doctor Assessed Weight Loss Service - Safety First
We understand that you want to lose weight, which is your first step on your journey to better health. At the same time, at ZoomDoc Health, our team of Doctors will ensure that when initiating any weight loss medication - it is undertaken safely and the medication is right for you.
As such, you will receive a comprehensive health assessment report from one of our UK GPs.

Your current weight

Each month, our Doctors will undertake a repeat assessment to check that you have no unwanted side effects, that you are losing weight safely and importantly, that your medication is supporting you as part of your weight loss goals.
If our doctors determine that it is not safe to initiate or continue on Wegovy, you will be provided with a full refund.

How does it work?
Our service provides a comprehensive online assessment, including a review of your weight, height, BMI, and a full health check to ensure it's safe to prescribe weight loss medications. If appropriate, a prescription will be issued and sent directly to you, which can be taken to any UK pharmacy for dispensing. This process is often more affordable than using online providers, as you can negotiate the cost of your private prescription with your local pharmacy. The standard cost of most weight loss injectable medications are around £75 (this is what the pharmacy has to pay) before any pharmacy service fee is applied.
For your safety, monthly reviews are required to continue and renew prescriptions, allowing our doctors to monitor any side effects, whilst ensuring that you are taking weight loss medications safely.
With our online process, GMC-qualified UK doctors can assess your weight, height, and BMI without the need for an in-person appointment, and your prescription will be provided the same day after reviewing your medical information.
