Wegovy belongs to the 'GLP-1 agonist (brand of semaglutide, weight indication)' class and is given as a weekly subcutaneous injection. The area's median income (~$86,556) weighs on the brand-vs-compounded trade-off in Coronado Hills.

Local landmark: Texas Weight Loss - North Austin (11139 N Interstate Hwy 35 Ste 120, Austin, TX 78753), rated 4.9/5 across 453 reviews.
Often a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related comorbidity, but only the medical evaluation decides.
It is the same molecule (semaglutide), but Wegovy goes up to 2.4 mg/week versus 2.0 mg max for Ozempic - a dose built for weight loss, which is why it is approved for that indication.
Coverage varies widely by plan; without coverage, many patients compare it to compounded semaglutide, which is far cheaper.
