and feel full for longer after you eat. They also have similar small side effects, like upset stomachs at
the start.
Wegovy has one very important extra benefit. It is the first weight loss shot that has been proven to
lower the chance of serious heart issues (like heart attacks) for people who already have heart disease.
You can switch, but this must always be managed by a medical expert like your RiteCare prescriber. If you
are thinking about changing, just let us know. We will safely guide you through the process and the
correct new dose.
