What is Wegovy (semaglutide injection)?

Wegovy is once-weekly injectable semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and slows stomach emptying. Doses titrate upward over months to the maintenance dose, and average trial weight loss around 15% made it the medicine that changed the field.

The condition it treats

Obesity with its metabolic consequences responds strongly to GLP-1 therapy, but only within a structured service: BMI criteria, titration, side-effect management and reviews are what separate a clinical service from a supply channel.

How the service runs on Scripter

Patients book online, complete the pre-consultation questionnaire, and the guided pathway walks the practitioner through the weight loss consultation with the screening and counselling steps built in. The supply decision, the record and any GP notification are produced in the same flow, documented against the exact protocol version in force.

Training and eligibility requirements.

Who can deliver this service, and who it can be delivered to. The governing PGD document defines the definitive inclusion, exclusion and supply criteria; the Scripter consultation pathway enforces them, and every consultation is documented against the protocol version it ran under.

Wegovy (semaglutide injection) PGD questions

How is the dose built up?+

Titration steps monthly from the starting dose to maintenance, exactly as the governing PGD defines; the pathway will not let a step be skipped, because skipping steps is what causes the nausea stories.

What must patients know before the first pen?+

Injection technique, storage, what nausea is normal versus concerning, sick-day rules and the contraception position; the consultation covers each and the record shows it.

What happens if supply is interrupted?+

After a gap, restarting may require dropping back down the titration ladder per the governing PGD; the record shows exactly where the patient was, so the decision is clean.

Why do some patients get referred instead?+

Thyroid cancer history, pancreatitis, pregnancy plans, eating disorders or complex medication pictures move care to the GP or specialist; the screening step is deliberate about it.
