Key Differences
GLP-1 is approved for Type 2 diabetes but widely used off-label for weight loss.
Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss in people with obesity or weight-related health issues.
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.
