When used for weight management, Semaglutide GLP-1 helps slow the emptying of food from the stomach, which increases feelings of fullness and reduces hunger
NICE guidance (TA875) supports the use of semaglutide 2.4 mg (Wegovy) for adults with a BMI of 35 kg/m or above alongside at least one weight-related condition, within a specialist weight management service (with lower BMI thresholds applicable for certain ethnic groups and other commissioning criteria)
Injectable Wegovy costs about $1,349 per month without insurance, while Novos Wegovy pill starts at $150 per month, with higher doses costing twice that
