Wegovy Weight Loss Pills

The Wegovy pill for weight loss is a once-daily dose of Semaglutide, taken as a pill rather than an injection. It is prescribed to support weight loss alongside diet and lifestyle changes. It is available following an online consultation

Key Benefits of Wegovy Pills

Once-daily pill
Needle-free alternative to weight-loss injections
Average weight loss of 16.6%* (1)
Stops food noise (2)

*Average weight loss of people taking oral Semaglutide 25mg over 71 weeks alongside diet and exercise changes and 100% treatment adherence.

What is the Wegovy Pill?

The Wegovy pill is a daily weight loss tablet containing Semaglutide, the same active ingredient as Wegovy injections. Semaglutide imitates a natural hormone that helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing food noise. It is prescribed for adults living with obesity or excess weight, alongside dietary changes and more physical activity (2). If injections haven’t worked for you, because you dislike needles, struggled with injection pens, or had reactions where you injected, our prescribing team can check whether the Wegovy pill is suitable for you.

Find out more in our ‘What is the Wegovy pill?’ guide.

How Does the Wegovy Pill Work for Weight Loss?

The Wegovy pill contains Semaglutide, which imitates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone the body naturally releases after eating, to help:

Reduce appetite
Increase feelings of fullness
Slow stomach emptying
Support long-term weight management (2)

Alongside healthy lifestyle changes, the Wegovy pill can support reduced calorie intake leading to weight loss results over time.

The Wegovy pill is different to traditional weight loss tablets, including Orlistat or Mysimba, instead it works on the same biological pathways as weight loss injections such as Wegovy injections and Mounjaro.

What Weight Loss Results Can I Expect With the Wegovy Pill?

Weight loss with the Wegovy pill is gradual, and how much you lose depends on factors such as dose, how consistently it is taken, and the lifestyle changes made alongside treatment. A clinical trial showed that the average weight loss on the Wegovy pill was 16.6%* (1). Our guide explains what results may be expected from the Wegovy pill.

*Average weight loss of people taking oral semaglutide 25mg over 71 weeks alongside diet and exercise changes and 100% treatment adherance.

Who is the Wegovy Pill Suitable For?

Wegovy pills are a prescription-only weight loss treatment, and suitability must be assessed by a clinician through an online consultation before it can be prescribed.

To be eligible for the Wegovy pill you must:

Have a BMI of 30 or above, or
Have a BMI of 27 or above alongside a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes (2)

Use this NHS tool to calculate your BMI.

Meeting the BMI criteria alone does not automatically mean that Semaglutide will be right for you. Before prescribing the Wegovy pill, the clinician will consider factors like your medical history, current medications, and previous side effects or reactions to determine whether it’s safe and appropriate for you.

Who Should Not Take the Wegovy Pill?

The Wegovy pill may not be the right treatment for everyone, it should not be used:

During pregnancy or breastfeeding
Alongside other GLP-1 medicines such as Mounjaro or Wegovy injections
By children or adolescents under 18
By people who have previously had an allergic reaction to Semaglutide (2).

The suitability of the Wegovy pill will be assessed by our clinical team before being prescribed to you.

If you become pregnant, you are encouraged to ask your doctor to register your pregnancy in an official registry. You can also report this information on your own at The Novo Nordisk Pregnancy Registry. Your information will remain anonymous - nobody will know it is information about you. Sharing your information may help women in the future understand the safety or risks of Wegovy® during a pregnancy.

For full safety information, read the Patient Information Leaflet that comes with your medicine.

What’s the Difference Between the Wegovy Pill and Injection?

The Wegovy pill and injection work in the same way, they both use Semaglutide. The differences between the Wegovy pill versus Wegovy Injection are in how they are taken:

Wegovy pill	Wegovy injection
Taken once daily (2)	Taken once weekly
Oral tablet swallowed with water	Injected into the stomach, thighs, or upper arm
Can be stored at room temperature	Unused pens should be kept in the fridge
Must be taken 30 minutes before food on an empty stomach	Can be taken at any time of day
Patients taking 25mg dose lost an average of 16.6% of baseline body weight over 71 weeks* (1)	Patients taking 7.2mg dose lost an average of 19-21% of baseline body weight over 68 weeks* (3)

*Average body weight loss achieved alongside diet and exercise changes and 100% treatment adherence.

Will I Get the Same Weight Loss as the Wegovy Injection?

The 25mg Wegovy pill is considered bio-equivalent to the standard Wegovy 2.4mg injection dose, this means it may provide similar Semaglutide exposure and similar weight loss results (1,4).

However, Wegovy injections are also available at a higher 7.2mg maintenance dose, this is for some people who need additional support. This higher dose is associated with a greater average weight loss (19-21%) compared to the Wegovy pill or the 2.4mg injection (3).

This means:

The Wegovy 25mg pill is roughly equivalent to the Wegovy 2.4mg injection
The Wegovy 7.2mg injection may produce greater weight loss (3).

It is important to remember that weight loss varies from person to person, and taking the Wegovy pill exactly as instructed is important to help your body absorb the medicine properly.

Can I Switch from Wegovy Injections to Wegovy Pills?

Yes, you can switch from Wegovy injections to the Wegovy pill, but both treatments should not be taken together, book a clinical consultation to discuss making the switch.

Wegovy Pill Dosages

Wegovy pill dosing increase inforgraphic

The dose of Wegovy pill you should order depends on whether you have taken weight loss medication before, which weight loss medication you are currently on, and the strength of that medication. The dosage is gradually increased over time, taking into consideration your individual response to medication.

Which Wegovy Pill Should I Order if I’m New to All Weight Loss Medications?

If you are new to weight loss medication, you will need to start on the 1.5mg Wegovy Pill. There is a Wegovy pill dosing guide advised by the manufacturer (Novo Nordisk), that suggests starting on the lowest dose (1.5mg), because your body will need time to adjust to a new medication to avoid harsh side effects (5).

If you have been previously taking Mysimba, Alli, or Orlistat-based weight loss medication, you will also need to start on the lowest dose (1.5mg).

Which Wegovy Pill Should I Order if I’m Currently on Wegovy Injections?

When you switch from Wegovy injections to Wegovy pills, the starting pill dose will depend on the injection dose you’re currently taking.

Current Wegovy injection dose	Recommended starting Wegovy pill dose	Time gap from last injection	Available?
0.25mg weekly	1.5mg daily	7 days	Yes
0.5mg weekly	4mg daily	7 days	Yes
1.0mg weekly	9mg daily	7 days	Yes
1.7mg weekly	9mg daily	7 days	Yes
2.4mg weekly	25mg daily	7 days	Yes
7.2mg weekly	Switching to 25mg is possible but recommend to stay on 7.2mg to maintain weight loss results.	7 days	Yes

Which Wegovy Pill Should I Order if I'm Currently on Mounjaro Injections?

When you switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy pills, the starting pill dose will depend on the Mounjaro dose you’re currently taking.

Current Mounjaro injection dose	Recommended starting Wegovy pill dose	Time gap from last injection	Available?
2.5mg weekly	1.5mg daily	7 days	Yes

How to use Wegovy Pills

How to Use Wegovy Pills

It is very important to take the Wegovy pill correctly for the treatment to work to its full effect. To help the pill work properly, you should:

Take it once a day, first thing in the morning
Take it on an empty stomach after fasting overnight (at least 8 hours after last meal)
Take it with no more than 120ml of plain water
Swallow it whole without splitting, crushing, or chewing the pill
Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, or drinking any more liquids
Wait at least 30 minutes before taking any other oral medicines (2)

If you miss a dose, skip it and take your next tablet at the usual time the following day. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed tablet.

How Does Wegovy Pill Dose Escalation Work?

To help your body adjust to treatment and reduce side effects, the Wegovy pill is started at a low dose and increased gradually over time. The full dosing schedule is explained in our Wegovy pill dosing guide.

Some patients may stay at a dose longer if side effects don’t settle down. Always take the strength prescribed by your clinician and don’t rush through the steps. Taking a higher dose than recommended will not speed up weight loss and may increase the risk of side effects.

Can I Take Other Medicines Alongside the Wegovy Pill?

You can take most other medicines alongside the Wegovy pill, as long as oral medicines are taken at least 30 minutes afterwards. But as Semaglutide slows stomach emptying and can cause side effects such as vomiting or diarrhoea, it can change how well some are absorbed.

This may be particularly important for:

Warfarin and other oral anticoagulants, where extra blood test monitoring may be needed to check that your blood clotting medicine is still working as it should
Levothyroxine, used for thyroid disease, take Wegovy pill first upon waking with 120ml of water, wait at least 30 minutes, then take Levothyroxine, and wait an additional 30-60 minutes before eating. Alternatively, consider taking your Levothyroxine dose consistently at bedtime (3-4 hours after the last meal)
Oral contraceptive pills, which may become less effective if vomiting occurs within 3-4 hours of taking them. Extra contraception is recommended until digestive side effects calm.

The Wegovy pill also shouldn’t be taken alongside any other GLP-1 receptor agonists or prescription weight loss drugs, such as Mounjaro or Wegovy injections.

Always tell your clinician about any medicines you’re taking before starting treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

: Yes, you can switch between Wegovy injections and the pill. If you’re already using the 2.4mg injection dose, you can switch directly to the 25mg pill. If you’re still on lower injection doses, you may need to start on a lower tablet strength and increase gradually over time. Our prescribers will be able to guide you on the appropriate strength to switch to. Read our fill Wegovy injections to Wegovy pills switching guide.
: The Wegovy pill works differently from other tablets for weight reduction. They contain different active ingredients that work differently in the body. Orlistat binds to fat in the body to stop it from being absorbed, whereas the Wegovy pill and Mysimba influence appetite and hunger.
: Yes. The active ingredient in Wegovy is Semaglutide which means it would be considered one of two Semaglutide tablets in the UK, alongside diabetes brand tablet Rybelsus.
: Yes, but patients switching from other medicines like Tirzepatide or Liraglutide will usually need to restart at the lowest 1.5mg tablet dose and increase the strength step-by-step, regardless of where they are in the dose escalation schedule for their current treatment.
: Wegovy pills should be stored at room temperature in their original packaging to protect them from moisture. Unlike Wegovy injections, they do not need to be kept in the fridge, which can make tablets more convenient for people who travel often.
: Yes. You can drink alcohol while taking the Wegovy pill, as alcohol does not directly interact with Semaglutide. But alcohol may worsen digestive side effects in some people and could make weight loss more difficult, especially in larger amounts. Find out more about weight loss pills and alcohol and how they interact.
: Unused or expired Wegovy pills should be returned to a pharmacy for safe disposal. Unlike Wegovy injections, the Wegovy pill does not require sharps disposal, as there are no needles or injection pens involved.
: No. Wegovy is a prescription-only weight management medicine and is not suitable for everyone. Your clinician will review your BMI, medical history, medications, and overall suitability during your online consultation before any treatment is prescribed.
: Yes. Wegovy pills contain Semaglutide (the same active ingredient in Wegovy injections) which is a GLP-1 agonist. As with the Wegovy injection, Semaglutide is a copy of a natural gut hormone your body makes after eating which tells your brain you're full, so you feel less hungry and eat less.
: Based on current research, Wegovy (Semaglutide) does not reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and doesn't significantly affect how well birth control pills are absorbed or work in your body. However, due to the possible side effects of weight loss medications, if you vomit within 3-4 hours of taking your pill or experience severe diarrhoea, you should use back-up contraception like condoms until your symptoms have been clear for at least a week.
: The Wegovy pill starts working to reduce your appetite after the initial dose, but noticeable weight loss is gradual and it is completely normal not to experience any weight change in your first month. In a clinical trial of the Wegovy pill, nearly 1 in 3 people lost at least 10% of their body weight within the first 4 months (6).
