a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with MEN 2 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .
a prior serious hypersensitivity reaction to semaglutide or to any of the excipients in WEGOVY injection or WEGOVY tablet. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported with WEGOVY [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] .
Personal or family history of MTC or in patients with MEN 2. ( 4 )
Known hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any of the excipients in WEGOVY tablets or WEGOVY injection. ( 4 )
Warnings and precautions
Acute Pancreatitis : Has been observed in patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, including WEGOVY. Discontinue if pancreatitis is suspected. ( 5.2 )
Acute Gallbladder Disease : Has occurred in clinical trials. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder studies and clinical follow-up are indicated. ( 5.3 )
Hypoglycemia : Concomitant use with insulin or an insulin secretagogue may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. Reducing the dose of insulin or insulin secretagogue may be necessary. Inform all patients of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. ( 5.4 )
Acute Kidney Injury Due to Volume Depletion : Monitor renal function in patients reporting adverse reactions that could lead to volume depletion. ( 5.5 )
Severe Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions : Use has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. WEGOVY is not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis. ( 5.6 )
Hypersensitivity Reactions : Anaphylactic reactions and angioedema have been reported postmarketing. Discontinue WEGOVY if suspected and promptly seek medical advice. ( 5.7 )
Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes : Has been reported in trials with semaglutide. Patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy should be monitored. ( 5.8 )
Pulmonary Aspiration During General Anesthesia or Deep Sedation : Has been reported in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists undergoing elective surgeries or procedures. Instruct patients to inform healthcare providers of any planned surgeries or procedures. ( 5.10 )
5.1Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors
In mice and rats, semaglutide caused a dose-dependent and treatment-duration-dependent increase in the incidence of thyroid C-cell tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) after lifetime exposure at clinically relevant plasma exposures [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . It is unknown whether WEGOVY causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including MTC, in humans, as human relevance of semaglutide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined.
Cases of MTC in patients treated with liraglutide, another GLP-1 receptor agonist, have been reported in the postmarketing period; the data in these reports are insufficient to establish or exclude a causal relationship between MTC and GLP-1 receptor agonist use in humans. WEGOVY is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with MEN 2. Counsel patients regarding the potential risk for MTC with the use of WEGOVY and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (e.g., a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness).
Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients treated with WEGOVY. Such monitoring may increase the risk of unnecessary procedures, due to the low-test specificity for serum calcitonin and a high background incidence of thyroid disease. Significantly elevated serum calcitonin value may indicate MTC and patients with MTC usually have calcitonin values greater than 50 ng/L.
If serum calcitonin is measured and found to be elevated, the patient should be further evaluated. Patients with thyroid nodules noted on physical examination or neck imaging should also be further evaluated.
5.2Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis, has been observed in patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, including WEGOVY [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . After initiation of WEGOVY, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis, which may include persistent or severe abdominal pain (sometimes radiating to the back), and which may or may not be accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
If pancreatitis is suspected, discontinue WEGOVY and initiate appropriate management.
5.3Acute Gallbladder Disease Treatment with
WEGOVY is associated with an increased occurrence of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. The incidence of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis was higher in WEGOVY injection-treated pediatric patients aged 12 years and older than in WEGOVY injection-treated adults. In randomized clinical trials in adults for weight reduction, cholelithiasis was reported by 1.6% of WEGOVY injection-treated patients and 0.7% of placebo injection-treated patients, and by 2.5% of WEGOVY tablet-treated patients and 1% of placebo tablet-treated patients.
Cholecystitis was reported by 0.6% of WEGOVY injection-treated adult patients and 0.2% of placebo- treated patients. In a clinical trial in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older for weight reduction, cholelithiasis was reported by 3.8% of WEGOVY injection-treated patients and 0% placebo-treated patients. Cholecystitis was reported by 0.8% of WEGOVY injection-treated pediatric patients and 0% placebo-treated patients [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
Substantial or rapid weight loss can increase the risk of cholelithiasis; however, the incidence of acute gallbladder disease was greater in WEGOVY-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients, even after accounting for the degree of weight loss. If cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder studies and appropriate clinical follow-up are indicated.
5.4Hypoglycemia
WEGOVY lowers blood glucose and can cause hypoglycemia. In a trial of WEGOVY injection in adult patients with type 2 diabetes and body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27 kg/m 2 for weight reduction (Study 3), hypoglycemia (defined as a plasma glucose less than 54 mg/dL) was reported in more patients treated with WEGOVY versus placebo [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . One episode of severe hypoglycemia (requiring the assistance of another person) was reported in one WEGOVY treated patient versus no placebo-treated patients [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
In glycemic control clinical trials, the risk of hypoglycemia was increased when semaglutide injection or tablet was used concomitantly with insulin or an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea). Patients with diabetes mellitus taking WEGOVY in combination with insulin or an insulin secretagogue may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. The use of WEGOVY in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or in combination with insulin has not been evaluated.
Inform patients of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia. In patients with diabetes, monitor blood glucose prior to starting WEGOVY and during WEGOVY treatment. When initiating WEGOVY, consider reducing the dose of concomitantly administered insulin or insulin secretagogue to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] .
5.5Acute Kidney Injury Due to Volume Depletion
There have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury, in some cases requiring hemodialysis, in patients treated with semaglutide [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . The majority of the reported events occurred in patients who experienced gastrointestinal adverse reactions leading to dehydration such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . Monitor renal function in patients reporting adverse reactions to WEGOVY that could lead to volume depletion, especially during dosage initiation and escalation of WEGOVY.
5.6Severe Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions Use of
WEGOVY has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe [see Adverse Reactions ( 6 )] . In clinical trials for adults for weight reduction, severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions were reported more frequently among patients receiving WEGOVY than placebo. Severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions were reported in 4.1% and 0.9% of WEGOVY injection and placebo-treated patients, respectively, and in 2% of WEGOVY tablet-t

Interactions
WEGOVY delays gastric emptying. May impact absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Consider increased clinical or laboratory monitoring when used concomitantly with other oral medications that have a narrow therapeutic index or that require clinical monitoring. ( 7.2 )
7.1Concomitant Use with Insulin or an Insulin Secretagogue (e.g., Sulfonylurea)
WEGOVY lowers blood glucose and can cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when WEGOVY is used concomitantly with insulin or insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylureas). The addition of WEGOVY in patients treated with insulin has not been evaluated. When initiating WEGOVY, consider reducing the dose of concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
7.2Oral Medications
WEGOVY causes a delay of gastric emptying and thereby has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. In clinical pharmacology trials with semaglutide 1 mg once weekly injection, semaglutide did not affect the absorption of orally administered medications [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In a drug interaction study with the semaglutide tablet, levothyroxine exposure was increased 33% (90% CI: 1.25-1.42).
Monitor the effects of oral medications concomitantly administered with WEGOVY. Consider increased clinical or laboratory monitoring for medications that have a narrow therapeutic index or that require clinical monitoring.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
8.1Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to WEGOVY during pregnancy. Pregnant women exposed to WEGOVY and healthcare providers are encouraged to contact Novo Nordisk at 1-877-390-2760 or www.wegovypregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary Based on animal reproduction studies, there may be potential risks to the fetus from exposure to semaglutide during pregnancy. Available pharmacovigilance data and data from clinical trials with WEGOVY use in pregnant patients are insufficient to establish a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
Weight loss offers no benefit to a pregnant patient and may cause fetal harm. When a pregnancy is recognized, advise the pregnant patient of the risk to a fetus. Discontinue WEGOVY in pregnant patients who are using it for weight reduction (see Clinical Considerations ). There may be risks to the mother and fetus related to underlying MASH with advanced liver fibrosis (see Clinical Considerations ). Whether WEGOVY treatment during pregnancy reduces these risks is unknown.
WEGOVY for the treatment of MASH with advanced liver fibrosis should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. In pregnant rats administered semaglutide during organogenesis, embryofetal mortality, structural abnormalities and alterations to growth occurred at clinically relevant maternal exposures at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of WEGOVY subcutaneous injection 7.2 mg/week, based on AUC.
In pregnant rabbits and cynomolgus monkeys administered semaglutide during organogenesis, early pregnancy losses and structural abnormalities were observed in rabbits and monkeys at clinically relevant exposures. These findings coincided with a marked maternal body weight loss in both animal species (see Data ). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations are unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/fetal Risk: Appropriate weight gain based on pre-pregnancy weight is currently recommended for all pregnant patients, including those who already have overweight or obesity, because of the obligatory weight gain that occurs in maternal tissues during pregnancy. There may be risks to the mother and fetus related to MASH with advanced liver fibrosis, such as increased risks of gestational diabetes, hypertensive complications, preterm birth, and postpartum hemorrhage.
The effect of WEGOVY on these risks is unknown. Data Animal Data: In a combined fertility and embryofetal development study in male and female rats, subcutaneous semaglutide doses of 0.01, 0.03, and 0.09 mg/kg/day (up to 0.1-fold the MRHD, based on AUC) were administered to male rats for 4 weeks prior to and throughout mating and to female rats for 2 weeks prior to mating, and throughout organogenesis to Gestation Day 17.
In parental rats, pharmacologically mediated reductions in body weight gain and food consumption were observed at all dose levels. In the offspring, reduced growth and fetuses with visceral (heart blood vessels) and skeletal (cranial bones, vertebra, ribs) abnormalities were observed at clinically relevant exposures at the MRHD. In an embryofetal development study in pregnant rabbits, subcutaneous semaglutide doses of 0.001, 0.0025, or 0.0075 mg/kg/day (up to 0.3-fold the MRHD) were administered throughout organogenesis from Gestation Day 6 to 19.
Pharmacologically mediated reductions in maternal body weight gain and food consumption were observed at all dose levels. Early pregnancy losses and increased incidences of minor visceral (kidney, liver) and skeletal (sternebra) fetal abnormalities were observed at greater than or equal to 0.0025 mg/kg/day, at clinically relevant exposures at the MRHD. In an embryofetal development study in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys, subcutaneous semaglutide doses of 0.015, 0.075, and 0.15 mg/kg twice weekly (up to 2-fold the MRHD) were administered throughout organogenesis, from Gestation Day 16 to 50.
Pharmacologically mediated, marked initial maternal body weight loss and reductions in body weight gain and food consumption coincided with the occurrence of sporadic abnormalities (vertebra, sternebra, ribs) at greater than or equal to 0.075 mg/kg twice weekly, at clinically relevant exposures at the MRHD. In a pre- and postnatal development study in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys, subcutaneous semaglutide doses of 0.015, 0.075, and 0.15 mg/kg twice weekly (up to 0.8-fold the MRHD) were administered from Gestation Day 16 to 140.
Pharmacologically mediated marked initial maternal body weight loss and reductions in body weight gain and food consumption coincided with an increase in early pregnancy losses and led to delivery of slightly smaller offspring at greater than or equal to 0.075 mg/kg twice weekly, at clinically relevant exposures at the MRHD. Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC), an absorption enhancer in WEGOVY tablets, crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in rats.
In a pre- and postnatal development study in pregnant Sprague Dawley rats, SNAC was administered orally at 1,000 mg/kg/day (exposure levels were not measured) on Gestation Day 7 through lactation Day 20. An increase in gestation length, an increase in the number of stillbirths and a decrease in pup viability were observed.

6.1Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions in Clinical Trials in Adults with Obesity or Overweight for Weight Reduction WEGOVY 2.4 mg Subcutaneous Injection Weekly Dosage WEGOVY was evaluated for safety in 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that included 2,116 adult patients with obesity or overweight treated with 2.4 mg WEGOVY injection for up to 68 weeks and a 7-week off-drug follow-up period [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
Baseline characteristics included a mean age of 48 years, 71% female, 72% White, 14% Asian, 9% Black or African American, and 5% reported as other or unknown; and 85% were not Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, 13% were Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, and 2% reported as unknown. The baseline characteristics were 42% with hypertension, 19% with type 2 diabetes, 43% with dyslipidemia, 28% with a BMI greater than 40 kg/m 2 and 4% with CV disease.
In these clinical trials, 6.8% of patients treated with 2.4 mg WEGOVY injection and 3.2% of patients treated with placebo permanently discontinued treatment as a result of adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were nausea (1.8% versus 0.2%), vomiting (1.2% versus 0%), and diarrhea (0.7% versus 0.1%) for WEGOVY and placebo, respectively. Table 3 shows adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 2% of WEGOVY 2.4 mg injection-treated adult patients and more frequently than in the placebo group from these trials.

T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus. d Includes chronic gastritis, gastritis, gastritis erosive, and reflux gastritis. e Includes paresthesia, hyperesthesia, burning sensation, allodynia, dysesthesia, skin burning sensation, pain of skin, and sensitive skin. CV Outcomes Trial In a CV outcomes trial, 8,803 patients were exposed to WEGOVY injection for a median of 37.3 months and 8,801 patients were exposed to placebo for a median of 38.6 months [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
Safety data collection was limited to serious adverse events (including death), adverse events leading to discontinuation, and adverse events of special interest. Sixteen percent (16%) of WEGOVY injection-treated patients and 8% of placebo-treated patients, respectively, discontinued study drug due to an adverse event. Additional information from this trial is included in subsequent sections below when relevant. WEGOVY 7.2 mg Subcutaneous Injection Weekly Dosage The safety of WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection was evaluated in two 72-week double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled 3-armed trials (Study 8 and Study 9), including 1,311 patients with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 ) exposed in the treatment arm with WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection, 304 patients exposed in the treatment arm with WEGOVY 2.4 mg injection, and 303 patients exposed to placebo [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] .
After dosage escalation, 1,149 patients received at least one dose of WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection, and 578 patients received 7.2 mg for at least 1 year. Baseline characteristics in the WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection arm included a mean age of 49 years, 70% female, 85% White, 5% Asian, 8% Black or African American, and 2% reported as other or unknown; and 5% were Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, mean BMI was 39.5 kg/m 2 , 52% with hypertension, 38% with dyslipidemia, 40% with a BMI greater than 40 kg/m 2 , and 14% with CV disease.
In these clinical trials, 5% of patients treated with 7.2 mg WEGOVY injection, 5% of patients treated with 2.4 mg of WEGOVY injection and 2% of patients treated with placebo permanently discontinued treatment as a result of adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation were gastrointestinal disorders: 3%, 3%, and 0.3%, for WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection, WEGOVY 2.4 mg injection, and placebo, respectively.
Table 4 shows adverse reactions reported in greater than or equal to 2% of WEGOVY 7.2 mg injection and more frequently than 2.4 mg injection-treated and placebo-treated patients from these studies.
