In major STEP trials, Wegovy led to about 15% weight loss over 68 weeks. Contrave (called Mysimba in the UK) generally achieves around 6–9% across pivotal studies. This means semaglutide tends to provide greater weight reduction than naltrexone/bupropion combinations. Two very different medicines Although both Wegovy and Contrave are used for weight management, they belong to very different drug families and work in different ways. Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 recepto

Wegovy contains semaglutide at a higher dose and is licensed for weight management, while Trulicity (dulaglutide) is prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Weight changes with dulaglutide are usually modest compared with the significant reductions seen in trials of semaglutide for obesity. Different active ingredients and purposes The first key difference is that Wegovy and Trulicity contain different GLP-1 receptor agonists. Wegovy delivers semaglutide at doses up to 2.4 mg weekly,

Standard UK instructions start at 0.25 mg once weekly and step up gradually to improve comfort and reduce tummy side effects. Starting at 0.5 mg is not the routine plan and tends to increase nausea for first-time GLP-1 users. If you’ve previously tolerated a GLP-1, your prescriber will still weigh the pros and cons before deviating from the usual start. Why titration matters Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that acts on appetite control centres in the bra

You can change your weekly injection day if needed, as long as there are at least 3 days (72 hours) between two doses. After switching, keep to the new weekly day going forward. For missed doses, the rule is different: if you are within 5 days, take it as soon as you remember; if it has been more than 5 days, skip it and take the next dose on your usual day. Why flexibility is built in Wegovy is prescribed as a once-weekly injection. The idea is to give people a medicine that

After first use, a pen can usually be kept below 30 °C (cap on, away from light) for up to 6 weeks — then it must be discarded, even if medicine remains. Unopened pens belong in the fridge; if they have been kept at room temperature on purpose, many packs allow a limited period out of the fridge — your leaflet sets the exact limit. Never freeze, never overheat (hot cars, radiators, direct sun), and never store with a needle attached. Why storage rules matter Wegovy (semagluti
