How Wegovy Works
Wegovy mimics a hormone called GLP-1 that your body naturally produces. This hormone signals to your brain that you're full, reduces appetite, and slows digestion. The result is feeling satisfied with less food and reduced cravings.

Wegovy vs Mounjaro
Both medications are effective for weight loss. Mounjaro targets two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) while Wegovy targets only GLP-1. Clinical trials show Mounjaro may produce slightly better results, but individual responses vary.
