Patient Selection and Assessment Criteria for patient eligibility, medical history and contraindications According to the package insert: Wegovy (semaglutide) injection 2.4 mg is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management: YES: adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 (obesity) or 27 kg/m2 (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g., hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia) pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with an initial BMI at the 95th percentile or greater standardized for age and sex (obesity) NO: Patients with a personal or family history of MTC Patients with MEN 2 Patients with a prior serious hypersensitivity reaction to semaglutide or to any of the excipients in semaglutide WARNING & PRECAUTIONS: Risk of the following: Thyroid C-Cell Tumors Acute Pancreatitis Acute Gallbladder Disease Hypoglycemia Acute Kidney Injury Hypersensitivity Reactions Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Heart Rate Increase Suicidal Behavior and Ideation ADDITIONAL Patients should be warned about the following: History of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, as semaglutide is not indicated for these conditions
Ehud Ur, an endocrinologist in Vancouver, said being able to prescribe generic semaglutide will be very exciting, noting that semaglutide would be an effective medication for many of his patients, but they arent on it because they cant afford it
In this way, indulgent-smelling products might offer a non-caloric form of comfort or reward
Shelf life considerations also matter, especially for multi-use vials that are opened and used over several weeks
