Wegovy Flextouch 0.25mg Injection (1.5ml Pre-filled Pen) - BRAND

Wegovy Flextouch 0.25mg injection contains Semaglutide as an active ingredient, which helps in controlling the blood sugar levels and assists in weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces the risk of heart attack or high blood pressure that arises due to factors like obesity. It works as a substitute for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is naturally released in the intestine, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and appetite by delaying digestion. Wegovy flextouch 0.25mg injection functions by stimulating the receptors in your brain that send signals throughout the body. It controls your appetite by sending signals through these receptors so that your stomach feels full and you do not feel like eating a lot. This eventually leads to regulated blood sugar levels and reduced body weight.
