Weight loss is a challenge for many people, and it can be difficult to find the right method to achieve a healthy body weight. In addition to dietary changes and exercise, starting weight loss medication may be an option for those seeking to lose weight.
At Apex, we offer a weight loss program that combines medication with a strong focus on lifestyle changes related to diet and exercise.
With us, you will receive:
An initial consultation with our nurse, where you will discuss your goals and wishes together. Your body composition will be measured, relevant blood tests will be taken, you will receive instructions on how to take the medication, and your first prescription for weight loss medication will be issued.
Ongoing support from your nurse throughout your program, so you can get answers to any questions you may have, whether it's about possible side effects or other thoughts regarding your weight loss.
We conduct monthly weight checks and follow-ups, either in person or by phone – whichever suits you best.

We know that weight loss medication can be a helpful tool for those who need extra support to reach their weight loss goals. However, it’s important to remember that medication is not a substitute for healthy habits such as a balanced diet and regular physical activity. That’s why we also talk about healthy eating habits and physical activity during your weight loss journey, to help increase your chances of successful weight loss.
The treatment is intended for people who are overweight with a BMI > 27 and related conditions such as high blood pressure or sleep apnea, or simply a BMI over 30.
The medication is administered as a subcutaneous injection, given once a week. Before you begin treatment, you will receive full instruction on how to use the medication during your initial consultation with the nurse.
The medication works by regulating appetite and increasing the feeling of fullness. This treatment can help reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss over time.
Most Common Wegovy® Side Effects
The most common side effects, experienced by approximately 10% of people using Wegovy®, include:
– Stomach pain
– Constipation
– Diarrhea
– Acid reflux / Nausea
These are all gastrointestinal-related side effects, typically appearing shortly after dose escalation and lasting only a few days.
With the right support, we help you through this stage safely and comfortably, so you can quickly move forward in your treatment. In most cases, these side effects will disappear or be significantly reduced.
The Program:
1st consultation: Includes a health discussion, blood tests, and your prescription.
Follow-up visits include weight monitoring and prescription renewal.
PRICE:
Subscription: 500 DKK per month.
Note: Medication is not included in the price.
Life After Wegovy®:
Once you’ve reached your goal, we recommend 3 follow-up consultations with our nurse.
After finishing treatment with Wegovy®, there is a risk of regaining weight if healthy eating and exercise habits are not maintained. The body typically produces fewer satiety hormones after weight loss, which may lead to increased hunger and fatigue. These effects can gradually decrease after stopping the medication, but if previous unhealthy habits and a sedentary lifestyle return, weight gain may occur.
That’s why it’s crucial to continue healthy lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity, even after completing your Wegovy® treatment. These habits can help you maintain the weight loss and prevent relapse.
PRICE:
3 follow-up consultations of 30 minutes each: 1,500 kr.
We support you through the challenges of achieving a healthy and stable body weight. Together, we will find your balance between dietary changes, exercise, and the use of weight loss medication.
