Wegovy is a brand-name semaglutide medication made by Novo Nordisk. At Bespoke Aesthetics in Gainesville, FL, board-certified physician Dr. Carolyn Indianos, MD prescribes Wegovy for appropriate patients as part of a physician-supervised weight management program.
What Is Wegovy?
Wegovy is Novo Nordisk’s brand-name formulation of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults and adolescents. It is given as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
How Wegovy Supports Weight Management
Semaglutide mimics natural gut hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar — reducing hunger, slowing gastric emptying, and helping you feel full longer. Weight loss occurs gradually over several months; individual results vary by starting weight, dose, and adherence, and treatment is always paired with nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
Brand-Name Wegovy vs. Compounded semaglutide
Bespoke offers both FDA-approved brand-name Wegovy and, separately, compounded semaglutide prepared by state-licensed 503A pharmacies. These are not the same product: compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and is prepared only for an identified patient when a physician determines it is clinically appropriate. Your physician will help you decide which option best fits your needs and budget.
Physician-Supervised Care
Every Wegovy program at Bespoke begins with a consultation and baseline labs with Dr. Indianos, followed by personalized dose titration and ongoing monitoring. We screen for contraindications, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2.
