This is not a "course of treatment" that ends

Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist licensed in the UK for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related comorbidities

If you are taking these medications for diabetes management, additional considerations may apply, though well-controlled diabetes (even with insulin use) is generally compatible with donation if other criteria are met

Clinical data shows that discontinuing either semaglutide or tirzepatide leads to significant weight regain in most users, often recovering two-thirds of the lost weight within one year of stopping

A 0.25 mg Wegovy pen costs the same as a 2.4 mg pen per month
