How can Wegovy® help?


 

Along with diet and exercise, Wegovy® is a medication that can help lower the risk of another heart attack or stroke, or even death in people who have known heart disease and obesity or overweight.

Proven to help reduce the risk of serious heart disease

In a study of adults who had a heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
who also had obesity or overweight, Wegovy® significantly lowered their risk of having ANOTHER major life-threatening heart event.

Heart disease is a term for conditions that affect your heart and blood vessels. These can include a heart attack, stroke, or a condition where your blood vessels narrow, known as PAD.

People with a history of heart disease and obesity or overweight are at a greater risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death.
