Wegovy® (semaglutide)
for Myocardial Infarction Prevention
Wegovy (semaglutide) is used to help with weight loss and long-term weight management in patients with obesity or those overweight with weight-related health issues. It works by reducing appetite and slowing digestion, which helps you eat less and lose weight. Wegovy also lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death in adults with cardiovascular disease and obesity. It is a man-made version of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates food intake by activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain.
