Product introduction

Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch is a medicine that aids in weight loss and maintenance for overweight or obese adults. It also helps lower the risk of heart-related events like heart attacks and strokes in adults with heart disease who are obese or overweight. It works best with a low-calorie diet and exercise.

Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch is administered as a once-weekly injection. It is generally injected under the skin in your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Get the injection on the same day each week, at a similar time, to maintain consistent levels in your body. Along with the medicine, maintain a healthy diet and regular physical activity for maximum benefits.


The most common side effects of Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, and headache. These symptoms often occur during the initial stage, however, they usually improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Eating smaller meals or avoiding heavy, fried foods may help ease symptoms like nausea or an upset stomach. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult your doctor for advice.


Before starting Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, particularly a history of pancreatitis, eye problems caused by diabetes (diabetic retinopathy), thyroid cancer, or severe gastrointestinal problems. This medicine is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or those with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Additionally, discuss with your doctor if you're on medications for type 2 diabetes, such as insulin or sulfonylureas; combining Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch with these medications can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Your doctor may need to adjust your medicine dosage to ensure safe use.

How Wegovy Injection works

Wegovy 1mg FlexTouch works by mimicking the activity of a naturally occurring hormone, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).
