Average weight loss with Wegovy^® in a medical study:

In a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults* living with obesity or overweight with a related medical problem along with reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity:

•	People taking placebo (not on medicine) lost an average of ~2.5% body weight (or about 6 lb)

•	Average starting weight in both groups: ~232 lb

•	People taking placebo (not on medicine) lost an average of ~2.5% body weight (or about 6 lb)

•	Average starting weight in both groups: ~232 lb

While taking Wegovy®, people not only lost weight, but also kept it off

In addition to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, people in this study taking Wegovy^® lost more weight vs placebo.

of adults taking Wegovy^® lost 5% or more weight, compared to 31% taking placebo

of adults taking Wegovy^® lost 10% or more weight, compared to 12% taking placebo

of adults taking Wegovy^® lost 15% or more weight, compared to 5% taking placebo

In the same study, some people lost even more weight

•	30% of people taking Wegovy^® lost 20% or more weight, compared to 2% of people taking placebo, in a supportive measure. This result was not the primary goal of the medical study and should be considered as additional information.

Individual results may vary.

*Results are from a 68-week medical study of adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) and adults with overweight (BMI ≥27) who also had weight-related medical problems including high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. Both groups received instruction for a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. During the trial, 17% of participants taking Wegovy^® discontinued treatment compared with 22% taking placebo.

Health care professionals prescribe Wegovy^® to help with losing weight and keeping it off in adults:

•	Living with obesity

•	Living with overweight and weight-related medical problems

People who kept taking Wegovy^® continued to lose weight in a separate 68-week medical study^‡

Everyone started taking Wegovy^® and were instructed to reduce calories and increase physical activity throughout the length of the study.

After 20 weeks, some people continued to take Wegovy^®, while others switched to placebo. From weeks 20 to 68, people taking Wegovy^® continued to lose weight. People taking placebo gained weight.

A closer look at the study results:

^‡This medical study included 902 adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related condition. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. In the first 20 weeks, everyone started taking Wegovy^®. Of these 902 people, 803 were able to reach the 2.4 mg dose and were randomized to Wegovy^® or placebo. After week 20, 5.8% of participants taking Wegovy^® discontinued treatment compared with 11.6% taking placebo.

People taking Wegovy^® achieved lasting weight loss in a separate 2-year medical study^§

•	Adults taking Wegovy^® lost an average of ~15% (~35 lb) vs 2.6% (~6 lb) for adults taking placebo

•	77% of adults taking Wegovy^® lost 5% or more weight compared to 34% taking placebo

•	Average starting weight for people taking Wegovy^® was ~233 lb and for placebo it was ~235 lb

^§This 2-year medical study included 304 adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least 1 weight-related medical condition. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. Both groups received instruction for a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. During the trial, 13% of participants taking Wegovy^® discontinued treatment compared with 27% taking placebo.
