Wegovy in Penang | CANVAS Medical Clinic
Physician-prescribed Wegovy (semaglutide) — the once-weekly GLP-1 injection with one of the largest evidence bases in medical weight loss, supervised end-to-end at our Gurney Walk clinic in George Town. Assessed, prescribed and reviewed — never dispensed on request.
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is the weight-management brand of semaglutide, a once-weekly injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist. By mimicking the GLP-1 gut hormone, it reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying and helps patients feel satisfied on less food. Semaglutide has one of the largest and longest clinical evidence bases of any modern weight-loss medicine, with well-documented, sustained results under supervision.
At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, Wegovy is offered strictly as prescription medicine within a supervised programme. Our physicians assess suitability, titrate the dose gradually to manage side effects, and review you throughout — pairing the medicine with the nutrition and activity guidance that make results durable.
How it works
- Medical assessment. A physician reviews your history, medications, goals and — where indicated — blood work, confirming whether semaglutide is appropriate and safe.
- Prescription & titration start. If suitable, treatment begins low and steps up gradually over weeks to minimise side effects.
- Weekly self-injection. A once-weekly subcutaneous injection you administer yourself after instruction, on a consistent day.
- Scheduled reviews. Your physician monitors weight, tolerance and dose throughout, adjusting to your response.

Who it's for
Wegovy may be suitable if you:
- Have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle change alone
- Meet the medical eligibility criteria confirmed at assessment
- Prefer a treatment with a long, established evidence base
- Are willing to be supervised and reviewed
- Understand it is a medical treatment with possible side effects
- Want weight management coordinated with body or wellness care
Wegovy is a prescription medicine with eligibility criteria and possible side effects; it is not suitable for everyone, and not during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is a medical treatment, not a cosmetic quick-fix, and works best alongside nutrition and activity. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
Wegovy vs Mounjaro vs Rybelsus
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a once-weekly GLP-1 injectable with a large, well-established evidence base. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) acts on two receptors and has shown greater average weight loss in trials. Rybelsus is daily oral semaglutide — the same molecule as Wegovy, in tablet form for those who prefer to avoid injections.
The right choice depends on your health, goals, tolerance and preferences. Your CANVAS physician will explain the trade-offs honestly at consultation.
