Prescription Only Medication (POM)
Please select the product variation first.
Wegovy Tablets are used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with weight-related health conditions. It contains semaglutide, which helps regulate appetite and reduce food intake to support weight loss alongside diet and exercise.
This is available for pre-order.
The Wegovy Pill is a once-daily oral tablet containing semaglutide, licensed in the UK for weight management. Unlike the well-known weekly Wegovy injection, this is a swallowable tablet, offering a needle-free way to access the same active ingredient.

Wegovy Pill starts working from your first dose, as semaglutide begins acting on appetite-regulating areas of the brain quickly. However, noticeable weight loss typically builds gradually over several weeks as your dose is increased in stages.
Both Wegovy Pill and the Wegovy injection contain semaglutide and work in the same way, but they’re administered differently. The injection is given once weekly under the skin, while Wegovy Pill is a tablet taken once daily on an empty stomach.
No. While both Wegovy Pill and Rybelsus contain semaglutide and are made by Novo Nordisk, they’re licensed for different purposes and doses. Rybelsus is approved for type 2 diabetes at doses up to 14mg, while Wegovy Pill is specifically formulated for weight management at higher doses, up to 25mg. They aren’t interchangeable, and your prescriber will recommend the one suited to your condition.
If you miss a dose of Wegovy Pill, skip it and take your next dose at the usual time the following day – don’t take two doses to make up for a missed one
Unlike the injectable version, Wegovy Pill doesn’t need refrigeration, making it simpler to store and travel with. Keep it in its original packaging, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. As with all medicines, store Wegovy Pill safely out of sight and reach of children, and check the expiry date before each use.
Unused or expired Wegovy Pill tablets shouldn’t be thrown away in household waste or flushed. Instead, take them to your local pharmacy, which can dispose of them safely and responsibly.

Like the Wegovy injection, the most commonly reported side effects of Wegovy Pill are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These tend to be mild to moderate and often ease as your body adjusts to treatment, particularly during dose escalation. A full list can be found in the patient information leaflet.
Wegovy Pill contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone your gut releases after eating. It acts on the areas of the brain that regulate appetite, helping you feel fuller for longer, reducing hunger, and decreasing food cravings. This makes it easier to eat less and maintain a calorie deficit, supporting sustained weight loss when combined with diet and lifestyle changes.
We use Royal Mail for deliveries – options include Royal Mail Tracked 24, Royal Mail Tracked 48 and Royal Mail Special Delivery by 1pm. It will be delivered to the address of your choosing in discreet, fully recyclable packaging.
The active ingredient in Wegovy Pill is semaglutide, available in 1.5mg, 4mg, 9mg, and 25mg doses. It also contains an absorption enhancer, which allows a portion of the semaglutide to cross the stomach lining intact. The tablet also includes standard inactive ingredients used to bind and stabilise the formulation.
Wegovy Pill isn’t suitable for everyone. It shouldn’t be taken by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Because the tablet’s absorption depends on an empty stomach, timing with other oral medications needs care. Always disclose your full medical history and current medications to your prescriber before starting treatment.
