The honest version

These results come from Wegovy, in the maker's own pen. Trial results belong only to the product that was tested. They don't carry over to any other preparation.

What the first months look like

Weeks 1–4

Starter pen (0.25 mg). Your appetite changes before the scale does.

Weeks 4–16

The pen strength goes up about once a month. Side effects tend to show up at each step.

Month 4+

Maintenance (1.7 or 2.4 mg). Trial results were measured at week 68.

Dosing, step by step

Ladder	0.25 → 0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg weekly — one pen strength per month, as the label sets out

And when it gets rough

Show what helps

Nausea Eat smaller meals, slowly, with less fat. Nausea tends to follow the monthly pen steps.
Constipation Fluids first, then fiber, then magnesium. Check with your clinician if you need more help.

Safety information

A U.S.-licensed clinician reviews every prescription and decides whether this medicine is right for you. During your visit, tell them if any of the following applies to you or your family.

In rodent studies, semaglutide and tirzepatide caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It is not known whether they cause these tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in people. Do not use this medication if you or any of your family have had MTC, or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

At 51 years old, I honestly didn’t think I could turn back the clock the way I have — but this program has helped me in every way possible. I’ve lost a sizable amount of weight but It’s not just about the weight. It’s my energy, my confidence, my discipline, and my mindset. My joints don’t hurt like they used to. I sleep better. I move easier. I feel lighter physically and mentally. And you truly can’t put a price on your health. Their customer service is amazing — I’ve literally received responses within minutes. Any time I’ve had a question or concern, it’s been handled quickly and professionally. This wasn’t overnight. It was consistency. And Zappy gave me the structure to stay consistent. Best investment I’ve made in myself in a long time.

I started with another "Z" company and got more excuses than I cared for... so I tried Zappy. I do my online survey every month to let them know about my weightloss and I've received my injections every month. Flat rate no hidden fees, and the cost doesn't increase. This company is great and helps you every step of the way. Wanna good company to get weightloss prescriptions, go with Zappy.

Common questions

How much does Wegovy® cost?

The manufacturer's pharmacy bills you for the medication. It costs $199–$399 a month, depending on the dose. Zappy's care membership is billed separately. It's $39 your first month, then $99/mo. You'll see the full price before checkout. You pay nothing unless a clinician approves you.

How is Wegovy® taken?

The dose goes up slowly. This is called titration. You start with a 0.25 mg shot under the skin once a week for 4 weeks. Then the dose steps up every 4 weeks (0.5 → 1.0 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg), as long as your body handles it. The maintenance dose is usually between 1.0 mg and 2.4 mg a week.

What are the side effects of Wegovy®?

Common: nausea, constipation, diarrhea, tiredness (early on, while the dose goes up), less appetite. Less common: acid reflux, reactions where you inject, gallbladder discomfort. Rare: pancreatitis (swelling of the pancreas), sudden kidney injury (linked to dehydration). Your clinician checks your health history before prescribing. They'll change your plan if side effects come up.

Does Wegovy® interact with other medications?

Tell your clinician about everything you take. Known interactions: Insulin and sulfonylureas: higher risk of low blood sugar. Their doses may need to be lowered; Pills that need very exact dosing (a narrow therapeutic window): absorbed more slowly, because your stomach empties more slowly; GLP-1 / GIP medicines like tirzepatide: never take them together.

Is Wegovy® FDA-approved?

Yes. Wegovy® is a brand-name, FDA-approved medication, supplied by the manufacturer.
