Dosage Comparison

  • GLP-1: Up to 2.0 mg weekly

  • Wegovy: Up to 2.4 mg weekly

Wegovy comes in a higher dosage range specifically designed for weight loss, while GLP-1 can be titrated up to 2 mg per week.

Cost and Availability in Malaysia

Currently, Wegovy is not widely available in Malaysia, whereas GLP-1 is more accessible and prescribed by doctors for weight loss under medical supervision.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you have diabetes, GLP-1 may be more suitable. If your goal is strictly weight loss and Wegovy is available, it might be a better fit. Consult a doctor for professional advice.
