Because of the unknown potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant due to the possible accumulation of SNAC, an absorption enhancer for Wegovy tablets, and because there are alternative formulations of semaglutide that do not contain SNAC that can be used during lactation, advise patients that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Wegovy tablets
Importantly, nearly 70% of participants in the semaglutide group lost at least 10% of their body weight, a threshold associated with meaningful improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic health markers
Clinical studies have shown that this higher dose leads to greater weight loss compared to the doses used for diabetes management
