Wegovy Flextouch 2.4mg Injection - BRAND (3ml Pre-filled Pen )

Wegovy 2.4 mg injection is the highest approved strength of this pre-filled pen. This medication is prescribed to patients with the condition of type 2 diabetes (with a body mass index of overweight (more than or equal to 27) or obese (more than 30). It enables weight loss and manages blood sugar levels because of the active ingredient Semaglutide in it. Categorized as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it binds with the receptors in your brain that control appetite and delays the emptying of the stomach, giving a feeling of satiety. By attracting the beta cells of the pancreas and stimulating the secretion of insulin whenever sugar levels are high, it also reduces the production of glucagon in the intestine after detecting high blood sugar levels in the body.
