Wegovy (semaglutide) is a daily prescription weight loss tablet clinically proven to help adults with obesity or who are overweight achieve and maintain significant weight reduction.

This means Wegovy tablets mimic the effects of the GLP-1 hormone. This heps to regulate appetite, slow digestion, and reduce calorie intake, supporting long-term weight management when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.

Wegovy contains semaglutide, which mimics the natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a key role in controlling appetite and food intake.

  • Wegovy is a prescription-only weight loss medication that contains semaglutide, a medication that mimics a natural hormone in the body. It helps reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and regulate hunger, making it easier to follow a calorie-controlled diet and achieve long-term weight loss.

  • Many people begin to notice reduced appetite and changes in eating habits within the first few weeks of starting Wegovy. Significant weight loss results are usually seen over a period of several months, especially when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes.

  • Yes. With Onlinemeds, you can order Wegovy online by completing a short health consultation. A licensed prescriber will review your answers and, if suitable, your medication will be dispensed and delivered discreetly to your home — without the long waiting times of a GP appointment.

  • The Wegovy pill is licensed for use in adults who have:

    • A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above (classified as obesity)
    • A BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or raised cholesterol

    Eligibility is similar to the Wegovy injection.

    However, the oral formulation may be a clinically appropriate option for those who are unable or unwilling to self-administer injections, or who prefer a daily tablet to a once-weekly injection.

    It is not automatically a suitable alternative for everyone currently using the injection, and an individual clinical assessment is required.

    The Wegovy pill is not recommended for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, those with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2), or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Switching from Wegovy injections to the Wegovy pill is possible, though any change to your treatment should be discussed with your prescriber before you stop or alter your current dose.

    Clinical guidance indicates that adults who are currently stable on the 2.4 mg weekly Wegovy injection may be able to transition directly to the 25 mg oral tablet - the highest maintenance dose of the pill.

    This is based on equivalence data reviewed as part of the MHRA approval process for the Wegovy pill.

    Whether switching is appropriate for you will depend on a number of individual factors, including how well your current treatment is working, any side effects you have experienced, and your overall health profile. Your prescriber will assess your suitability before making any changes.

  • The Wegovy pill is available in four strengths: 1.5 mg, 4 mg, 9 mg, and 25 mg.

    Treatment begins at the lowest dose and is increased gradually over time to help the body adjust and to minimise the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea.

    The standard titration schedule is as follows:

    • Month 1: 1.5 mg once daily
    • Month 2: 4 mg once daily
    • Month 3: 9 mg once daily
    • Month 4 onwards: 25 mg once daily (maintenance dose)

    Your prescriber may recommend staying at a lower dose for longer if side effects are difficult to manage, or if a slower titration is considered more appropriate for you.

    The tablet must be taken on an empty stomach, after fasting for at least eight hours, with no more than ha;f a glass of plain water.

    You should avoid eating or drinking anything other than water for at least 30 minutes after taking the tablet, as food and drink can significantly reduce absorption. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or split.
