How do I take it?

Wegovy is injected and it comes in pen with a small disposable needle. You inject yourself with it each week. It’s up to you what day and time you inject – whatever is convenient for you. Make sure you do this on the same day and time each week though, to ensure a steady level of the drug in your body.

The needle is very fine and most people have no problem at all injecting themselves. If you are squeamish to start, then you can always ask a family member or friend to help you inject until you get used to it. The best place to inject is in the stomach region, at least 5cm away from the belly button. Alternatively, you can inject in the upper thigh or upper arm. We recommend alternating the injection side each week.

Each pen comes with 4 disposable needles and enough medicine for 4 weeks. Never take more medicine than is prescribed. Never share prescribed medication.
