Wegovy Flextouch 0.5mg Injection - 1.5ml Pre-filled Pen (BRAND)

Wegovy Flextouch 0.5mg Injection is a 1.5ml pre-filled pen injected under the skin for controlling blood sugar levels, promoting weight loss, and minimizing the risk of cardiovascular diseases like heart stroke. Semaglutide, the active ingredient, stimulates the GLP-1 receptors in your brain and reduces your appetite by sending out signals through the nerves. This slows down the movement of food in your body, gives you a feeling of fullness, and controls your appetite. It revitalizes the pancreas and amplifies its production of insulin, and also increases the sensitivity of tissues and bones towards insulin. This 1.5ml pre-filled pen also limits the production and release of glucagon by the liver. Integrating the use of this medication with a healthy lifestyle of nutrition and exercise can keep the blood sugar levels under control.

Despite having sugar-controlling properties, Wegovy flextouch 0.5mg has a few side effects too that you should look out for.

• You may experience common symptoms such as nausea, constipation, fever, skin rash, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and bloating in the first weeks of your treatment. These mild effects usually occur because your body is not used to it and takes time to adjust.

• During this course of treatment, you may go through some severe side effects, too. Stop using the medication and consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the symptoms of severe side effects. You may experience severe abdominal pain due to the inflammation and overgrowth of the pancreas. Avoid the risk of kidney damage by staying hydrated and preventing the fluid levels from falling. You might get blurry vision, and your eyesight can also worsen during the course of treatment. Also, this medication can result in Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) due to the significant decline in your blood sugar levels.
