Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable medication containing semaglutide, prescribed at HealthDeliver for Type 2 diabetes and for doctor-supervised weight management.
At HealthDeliver Clinic, we provide genuine Wegovy® (semaglutide) with clinical assessment, personalised treatment planning, and ongoing medical support — ideal for Bangkok residents, expats, and medical travellers.
Wegovy® is a once-weekly injectable medication containing semaglutide at a dose of 2.4mg — higher than the 1mg dose used in Ozempic. While both contain the same active ingredient, Wegovy is specifically approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or weight-related health conditions, rather than for Type 2 Diabetes.
It works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying, and support sustainable weight reduction.
Semaglutide in Wegovy activates GLP-1 receptors throughout the body and brain:
The 2.4mg dose produces a stronger appetite suppression effect than the lower doses used in Ozempic, which is why Wegovy’s average weight loss figures are higher.
Wegovy may be suitable for:
It is not suitable for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2. A full doctor assessment is required.
Wegovy is titrated over 16 weeks to reach the 2.4mg maintenance dose. This gradual increase minimises side effects.
If side effects are significant at any stage, your doctor may extend a dose level before moving up.
The STEP 1 trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2021), followed 1,961 adults over 68 weeks:
Results are achieved in combination with lifestyle changes and medical supervision. Individual results vary.
A common question. Both contain semaglutide — the difference is dose and approved indication.
| Wegovy | Ozempic | |
|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient | Semaglutide 2.4mg | Semaglutide 0.5–1mg |
| Approved for | Weight management | Type 2 Diabetes |
| Avg. weight loss | ~15% | 9–15% |
| Frequency | Weekly injection | Weekly injection |
| Best for | Weight-focused patients, non-diabetic | Diabetes + weight management |
If you have Type 2 Diabetes, Ozempic is typically the more appropriate starting point. If weight management is your primary goal and you don’t have diabetes, Wegovy is the dedicated option. Your doctor will advise based on your full health assessment.

Below are some common queries—answered in plain terms:
Yes. Wegovy is available at HealthDeliver Clinic, subject to stock availability and clinical suitability following a doctor assessment.
Both contain semaglutide. Wegovy uses a higher dose (2.4mg vs up to 1mg) and is specifically approved for weight management. Ozempic is approved for Type 2 Diabetes. Your doctor will recommend which is appropriate for you.
At the 2.4mg maintenance dose, Wegovy produces slightly higher average weight loss than Ozempic in clinical trials — approximately 15% versus 9–15%. This is due to the higher semaglutide dose rather than a different mechanism.
Yes. Wegovy is prescription-only in Thailand. A doctor consultation is required before any medication can be dispensed.
The standard titration takes 16 weeks to reach the 2.4mg maintenance dose. Some patients may take longer if dose increases need to be slowed due to side effects.
