Achieving consistent weight loss can be challenging, especially when appetite control and metabolism fluctuate. Wegovy injection in Dubai offers a structured, weekly approach to help patients manage hunger, support fat reduction, and see measurable results. Many patients wonder: How do weekly injections work? Are they safe? When will I notice changes?
This article provides a step-by-step overview of the weekly injection process, patient experiences, and safety considerations for those seeking structured weight management.
How Weekly Wegovy Injections Work
Mechanism of Action
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that:
Reduces hunger and food cravings
Slows gastric emptying, prolonging the feeling of fullness
Supports gradual fat reduction through improved energy utilization
Administering the injection once a week ensures stable blood levels, optimal appetite control, and consistent weight loss results over time.

Safety and Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, some side effects may occur:
Gastrointestinal: nausea, mild constipation, bloating
Pancreatitis: rare but serious; requires urgent attention
Gallbladder issues: potential risk with rapid weight reduction
Thyroid considerations: avoid if personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
Muscle loss: maintain adequate protein intake
Medical supervision ensures side effects are minimized and weekly dosing remains safe and effective.
Administration: What to Expect
Wegovy is administered once per week using a prefilled subcutaneous pen. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Patients report only a brief pinch, and maintaining a consistent weekly schedule ensures steady results and optimal metabolic support.
