Not everyone needs the highest dose - your maintenance dose depends on your individual response and results. Your Everwell prescriber personalises your dosing schedule based on weight loss progress, side effects, and health goals.

What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription weight loss medication now available in Ireland. Clinical trials show patients lose an average of 15-18% of their body weight, making it one of the most effective treatments available1.
Unlike traditional diet pills, Wegovy mimics GLP-1, a natural gut hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. This helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and supports sustainable weight loss2.
Taken as a simple once-weekly injection, Wegovy is the first weight loss medication clinically proven to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in people with heart disease4.
The science behind Wegovy
Wegovy works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels in your body2.
How to use Wegovy
What to expect: side effects
Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Most side effects are mild and decrease as your body adjusts to the medication6.
Common side effects*
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and typically occur when starting treatment or increasing your dose6:
These side effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve significantly within a few weeks as your body adjusts6. Your Everwell health coach can provide personalised guidance, and our medical team can adjust your treatment plan if side effects persist.

How does Wegovy compare to other medications?
Choosing the right weight loss medication depends on your individual needs, health profile, and weight loss goals. Here's how Wegovy compares to other medications available through Everwell5.
Why choose Wegovy?
Wegovy is the only weight loss medication clinically proven to reduce cardiovascular risk. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or are at increased cardiovascular risk, Wegovy offers dual benefits: significant weight loss plus heart protection.

Common questions answered
How quickly will I see results with Wegovy?▾
Most people notice reduced appetite within the first 1-2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically becomes noticeable within 4-8 weeks, with progressive results over months. Clinical trials showed peak results at 68 weeks.
What are the common side effects?▾
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea (up to 44% of users in early weeks), diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, and stomach discomfort. These are usually mild to moderate and decrease significantly as your body adjusts.
How can I manage nausea?▾
Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Choose bland foods like toast, rice, or crackers. Avoid fatty, greasy, or spicy foods. Stay well-hydrated and stop eating when comfortably full. Your Everwell coach can provide personalised guidance.
What serious side effects should I watch for?▾
While rare, contact your healthcare provider immediately for: severe stomach pain, yellowing of skin/eyes, neck lumps, signs of pancreatitis, low blood sugar symptoms, kidney problems, severe allergic reactions, rapid heartbeat, or vision changes.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Wegovy?▾
Wegovy doesn't directly interact with alcohol, but drinking can hinder weight loss and worsen side effects like nausea. If you have diabetes, alcohol increases low blood sugar risk. Drink in moderation and discuss with your prescriber.
How long will I need to take Wegovy?▾
Treatment duration varies. Many people take it for 12-18 months to reach their target weight. Your prescriber will work with you to determine optimal duration and develop a maintenance plan.
What if I miss a dose?▾
If you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away, take it as soon as you remember. If less than 2 days until your next dose, skip the missed dose. Never take two doses at once.
Can I use Wegovy with type 2 diabetes?▾
Yes. Semaglutide was originally developed for diabetes (as Ozempic) and improves blood sugar control while supporting weight loss. Your prescriber may need to adjust other diabetes medications to prevent low blood sugar.
Will I regain weight after stopping?▾
Weight regain is possible without maintaining healthy habits. The Everwell programme helps you build sustainable lifestyle changes to support long-term weight maintenance after completing treatment.
Is Wegovy available through the HSE?▾
Wegovy is not currently available through the HSE for weight management. Most people access Wegovy through private providers like Everwell for faster access and comprehensive support.
Do I need to exercise?▾
While Wegovy supports weight loss through appetite reduction, exercise enhances results, preserves muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and improves cardiovascular health. Even moderate activity makes a significant difference.
Can I take Wegovy if trying to conceive?▾
No. Stop Wegovy at least 2 months before attempting pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking it, stop immediately and contact your healthcare provider. Use effective contraception during treatment.
What's the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?▾
Both contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is specifically licensed for weight management at higher doses (up to 2.4mg), while Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes at lower doses (up to 1mg). Wegovy is the appropriate choice for weight loss.
Can I switch from Mounjaro or Saxenda to Wegovy?▾
Yes, under medical supervision. Your Everwell prescriber will guide you through a safe transition, typically stopping your current medication and starting Wegovy at the initial low dose.
Will insurance cover Wegovy?▾
Most Irish private health insurance doesn't currently cover weight loss medications. Contact your provider directly to enquire. Everwell can provide documentation for potential reimbursement.
Does Wegovy protect my heart?▾
Yes. The SELECT trial demonstrated that Wegovy reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death) by 20% in people with existing cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity.
