Wegovy entered the French market

This Tuesday, October 8, one of the rare pharmacists to hold a box of this brand new drug coveted by obese people was Alexandre Rezakhany. He says there is a lot of expectation and hope around Wegovy. Sold only by prescription, it is injected subcutaneously, with one dose per week. Who is it for? To people under 65 years of age, whose body mass index is greater than 35. This is the case, for example, of a man measuring 1.70 meters and weighing at least 102 kilos.

The injected substance helps you lose weight because it is an appetite suppressant. It acts on the stomach and the hunger and satiety centers. How effective is it? According to various studies, Wegovy allows you to lose on average 12% of your initial weight provided you take it in addition to a low-calorie diet, physical activity and especially over the long term.
