To better understand how Wegovy fits into obesity treatment, Life & Style spoke with Dr. Jessica Duncan, a board-certified Obesity Medicine physician. Dr. Duncan explains that not every patient will use GLP-1 medications like Wegovy in the same way. Dr. Zuriarrain tells Life & Style “GLP-1 injections are given under the skin and enter the bloodstream directly, which allows for stronger and more consistent absorption. Injectable GLP-1 medications are usually taken once weekly, which many patients find easier to maintain long-term. Patients seeking treatment for weight loss should consult a physician trained in management of overweight or obesity.
