How it works:
Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch belongs to a class of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. It increases insulin release when blood sugar is high, reduces glucose production in the liver, and slows stomach emptying. These effects help control blood sugar, reduce hunger, and support weight loss.
