Wegovy (semaglutide) is licensed for weight management and works by reducing appetite and helping you feel full sooner. For many people who have struggled for years, it makes the lifestyle changes that drive lasting weight loss genuinely achievable.
Wegovy is generally considered for adults with a raised BMI, particularly where weight is affecting health: blood pressure, joints, sleep, blood sugar. It is not a first resort, and it is not right for everyone. Certain conditions and medications need careful review before starting, which is exactly what a GP assessment at our Hitchin clinic is for.
Online-only services can put medication in your hands quickly, but continuity is what makes treatment work long-term. Our patients see the same GP at every review, in person at our Hitchin clinic or by video. That GP knows their history and can adapt the plan as life changes.

Yes. After a full GP assessment at our Hitchin clinic, Wegovy can be prescribed where clinically appropriate, always with ongoing GP reviews as part of the plan.
Both contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is licensed specifically for weight management at higher doses, while Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes. Your GP will explain which, if either, suits your situation.
It varies. Weight loss medications work while you take them, so your GP will agree a plan with you covering treatment duration, maintenance, and how to stop safely when the time is right.
