At Garvey’s Pharmacy in Glenamaddy, we offer trusted guidance and access to Wegovy (Semaglutide), a prescription medicine used to support weight loss and manage type 2 diabetes when recommended by a healthcare professional. Our experienced pharmacists are here to answer your questions, offer clear advice, and work closely with your GP to ensure safe and effective use of the treatment.
Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is a prescription weight loss injection taken once weekly. It’s designed to help adults who are overweight or obese lose weight and keep it off when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally used for diabetes, now licensed specifically for weight management.
Wegovy works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that:
Reduces hunger
Slows gastric emptying (so you feel full longer)
Helps regulate insulin and blood sugar
Supports long-term, gradual weight loss
Most people using Wegovy notice a significant reduction in appetite, making it easier to eat less and lose weight consistently over time.
Wegovy may be suitable if you:
Have a BMI of 30 or higher
Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions like high blood pressure or sleep apnoea
Are ready to commit to lifestyle changes
Have no contraindicated health conditions (e.g., thyroid issues, pancreatitis)
We offer private, pharmacist-led consultations to assess your suitability and discuss your weight loss plan.
