Wegovy Price That Overseas Celebrities Are Said to Use for Weight Loss

Hello, this is Balance Lab Plastic Surgery.

It has been reported that in Korea today, there are 15 million patients with obesity, 5 million patients with diabetes, 15 million prediabetic patients, and 1.8 million patients with heart disease.

As the number of patients continues to rise, interest in diabetes and obesity treatments has recently increased, and Wegovy, which has gained a strong reputation as an obesity treatment, is drawing a lot of attention.

Wegovy became even more famous as it was used by various celebrities, including Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian, and the pharmaceutical company is Denmark’s Novo Nordisk.

Wegovy is currently very popular in the United States and is an FDA-approved treatment for severe obesity for weight loss.

It is currently available in the United States, Denmark, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, and Japan, and it was approved last April so that it could be launched in Korea as well, so we will likely be able to see it in Korea soon.

Balance Lab Plastic Surgery is also waiting for the day Wegovy is launched.

What is Wegovy? Wegovy is semaglutide, a GLP-1 agonist that has been approved by the FDA for weight loss.

About Wegovy prescriptions Since it has not yet been launched in Korea, let’s look at how it is prescribed based on U.S. FDA standards.

• In cases where body mass index (BMI) is 30 kg/m2 or higher

• In overweight patients with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 who have weight-related conditions

( hypertension, type 2 diabetes, etc. )

Wegovy effects Wegovy may help reduce body fat by suppressing GLP-1 secretion in the body, thereby suppressing blood sugar and appetite. Current clinical trial results have shown weight loss of more than 17%, and the advantage is that weight loss can be achieved with just one injection per week.

[ Effects ]

• Suppresses blood sugar increases in the body

• Improves liver fat and helps prevent fatty liver

• Clinical results show an average weight loss of more than 17%

• Slows gastrointestinal motility to suppress appetite

Wegovy dosage

Wegovy is injected once a week. It can be used any time on the same day each week regardless of meals, and the initial dose starts at 0.25 mg once a week, then is gradually increased over 16 weeks up to the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once a week.

How to use Wegovy The user must inject it themselves as an injectable formulation, and it is to be injected into the upper arm, upper thigh, or the abdomen about 5 cm away from the navel.

1. Before receiving the injection, wash your hands thoroughly and check the pen.
2. Select an injection site.

( Choose from the outer upper arm, outer and front thigh, abdomen, etc. ) 3. Remove the pen cap straight off, then inject Wegovy.

( Press the pen firmly against the skin until the yellow bar stops moving.)

Wegovy price

United States - about KRW 1.74 million

Germany - about KRW 420,000

Denmark - about KRW 440,000

Norway - about KRW 330,000

United Kingdom - about KRW 420,000

Japan - about KRW 370,000

At present, the price is highest in the United States and lowest in Japan. The domestic Korean price for Wegovy may be set somewhat higher than Japan’s, but since the price has not yet been announced, we will have to wait until it is launched.

Wegovy side effects Currently reported major side effects of Wegovy include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headaches, and similar symptoms.

In most cases, symptoms gradually improve over time, but about 5% of clinical trial participants discontinued use, so the pattern of side effects may vary depending on the individual. If symptoms persist, it is best to decide whether to continue through consultation with medical staff.

So, we have talked about Wegovy. For those who want to try a healthy diet before Wegovy is launched, we recommend trying Balance Lab’s 4-week diet program.
