Wegovy® is injected once weekly. It may be used at any time of the day and is not affected by meal times. It is advisable to inject it on the same day each week, or as instructed by your doctor.
Wegovy® is administered by subcutaneous injection. The recommended injection areas are the front of the abdomen, the outer thigh or the upper arm.
- Prepare the injection pen
Take out the injection pen and check that the solution is clear and free from visible particles. Attach a new needle. - Set the dose
Turn the dose selector to the dose instructed by your doctor. - Clean the injection site
Clean the injection area with an alcohol swab. - Inject the medication
Insert the needle vertically into the skin and press the injection button until the indicator shows that the injection is complete. - Hold for a few seconds
Keep the needle under the skin for approximately 6 seconds after injection to help ensure the dose has been fully delivered. - Dispose of the needle safely
Remove the used needle immediately after use and dispose of it properly in a sharps container.

Wegovy® is a prescription medicine and may cause the following common side effects, which are usually mild and more likely to occur during the initial adjustment period:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Dizziness or tiredness
- Reduced appetite
- Mild redness or swelling at the injection site
These symptoms commonly occur at the beginning of treatment. As the body adjusts to the medication, they may gradually improve for many users.
Less common but more serious side effects may involve gallbladder disease or pancreatitis. Close monitoring during treatment is therefore important, and medical advice should be sought promptly where needed.
If you experience any side effects, especially if the symptoms are severe or persistent, please speak to your doctor.

Before starting a Wegovy® weight management programme, a detailed medical assessment is recommended.
Q2: How long does it take to see weight management results with Wegovy®?

Your doctor will review your progress and adjust the treatment plan where clinically appropriate.

If you experience any discomfort or side effects after injection, please inform your doctor promptly. Your doctor may provide suitable advice or adjust your treatment plan according to your condition.
Q4: Can I eat freely after using Wegovy®?
No. Wegovy® may support weight management by helping to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying and increase the feeling of fullness.
However, it should be used alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle habits. It is not intended to replace appropriate dietary management, physical activity or medical follow-up.
Q5: Where can I purchase Wegovy® in Hong Kong?

Q6: What should I do if I miss a Wegovy® injection?
If you miss a dose and remember within 5 days, take the missed dose as soon as possible.
If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose according to your usual schedule.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. If you are unsure, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Q7: Why does the price of Wegovy® vary so much?
The price difference may depend on several factors:
- Whether it is provided through a registered medical centre or clinic
A proper treatment programme usually includes doctor assessment, dosage adjustment and follow-up monitoring. The price may be higher, but this supports safer and more appropriate use. - Whether monitoring services are included
Some clinic packages include regular follow-up consultations, blood glucose and lipid monitoring, or other health assessments, which may affect the overall price. - Risks of parallel imports or online purchases
Some lower-priced products may come from unofficial or unregulated channels. These may carry risks such as counterfeit products, improper cold-chain storage, or lack of medical support if side effects occur.
For safety, Wegovy® should be obtained through a registered medical centre or clinic and used under professional medical supervision.
