Consider Alternative Strategies For some patients, the following approaches may be discussed: Extended treatment duration : Continuing Wegovy beyond the initial assessment period, within the 2-year maximum treatment duration Intensified lifestyle intervention : Additional support within specialist weight management services Alternative medications : If Wegovy proves ineffective, other UK-licensed options such as orlistat or naltrexone/bupropion may be considered (availability varies by local NHS commissioning policies) Bariatric surgery referral : For individuals with BMI 40 kg/m (or 35 kg/m with comorbidities) who have not responded to non-surgical approaches
Gastrointestinal distress : The significant nausea and digestive discomfort that some people experience with Ozempic could potentially trigger anxiety or panic in susceptible individuals, particularly those with a history of anxiety disorders
