Have you lost weight in the past only to have it return? Wegovy® may be able to help you lose weight and keep it off.
For adults with obesity or some adults with excess weight and weight-related medical problems, along with a reduced calorie meal plan and increased physical activity
See what weight loss with Wegovy® might look like for you.
In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults* living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem along with reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity:
- People taking placebo in the study (not on medicine) lost an average of 6 lb (or ~2.5% body weight)
- Average starting weight in both groups: ~232 lb
In addition to a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity, people in this study taking Wegovy® lost more weight vs placebo
- 83% of adults taking Wegovy® lost 5% or more weight, compared to 31% taking placebo
- 66% of adults taking Wegovy® lost 10% or more weight, compared to 12% taking placebo
- 48% of adults taking Wegovy® lost 15% or more weight, compared to 5% taking placebo
- 30% of people taking Wegovy® lost 20% or more weight, compared to 2% of people taking placebo, in a supportive measure
Individual results may vary.
*Results are from a 68-week medical study of adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) and adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) who also had weight-related medical problems including high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. Both groups received instruction for a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity. 7% of people taking Wegovy® (92 people) left the medical study due to side effects, compared to 3.1% of people taking placebo (20 people).
