Wegovy® tablets are a once-daily oral weight loss treatment containing semaglutide. Now MHRA-approved for weight management in the UK, they offer a convenient, needle-free alternative to weekly weight loss injections.

About Wegovy® Tablets

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a prescription-only weight loss treatment developed by Novo Nordisk. Until recently, semaglutide was only available as a weekly injection. The tablet form offers the same active ingredient in a once-daily pill, making it a practical option for adults who prefer to avoid injections.

Semaglutide works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone is released after eating and plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Wegovy® helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and lower overall calorie intake.

Wegovy® tablets are intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity as part of a structured weight management programme. They are prescribed where clinically appropriate following a full medical assessment.

Wegovy® tablets have been approved by the MHRA for weight loss in the UK. They are currently only available via private prescription.

Directions

Take one tablet once daily, every day at the same time
Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, before any food, drink, or other medication
Swallow the tablet whole with no more than 120 ml (half a cup) of plain water only
Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet
Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything other than water, or taking any other oral medicines
Follow your prescriber’s dose schedule, which will gradually increase your dose over time to reduce the chance of side effects
If you miss a dose, skip it and take your next tablet the following morning as usual — do not take two doses on the same day

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Wegovy® tablets can cause side effects. Most are mild to moderate and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication, particularly during the dose-increase phase.

Common side effects include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Constipation
Stomach pain or discomfort
Indigestion or heartburn
Reduced appetite

Signs of a serious allergic reaction such as swelling of the face, lips, or throat, difficulty breathing, or a rapid heartbeat
Changes in vision (which may indicate diabetic retinopathy complications)
Signs of low blood sugar if you are also taking insulin or sulfonylureas
Mood changes, depression, or thoughts of self-harm

This is not a full list of side effects. Read the patient information leaflet supplied with your medication and speak to your prescriber or pharmacist if you have any concerns.

Warnings

Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)

Wegovy® tablets are a prescription-only medicine and are only prescribed following a full clinical assessment. Always follow the guidance of your prescriber and read the patient information leaflet before use.

Storage

Store at room temperature, below 30°C
Keep tablets in the original blister pack to protect them from moisture
Only remove a tablet from the blister immediately before taking it
Keep out of the sight and reach of children
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging
Do not dispose of medicines via wastewater or household waste — ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines you no longer need

Both the tablet and the injection contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide. The key difference is how they are taken: the injection is given once a week, while the tablet is taken once daily. The tablet must be taken on an empty stomach with strict timing rules to ensure it is absorbed properly.
Results vary between individuals. Wegovy® works gradually as your dose is increased over several months. Clinically meaningful weight loss is typically seen over a period of weeks to months when used consistently alongside diet and lifestyle changes.
Wegovy® tablets are used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or in adults who are overweight and have at least one weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. They are used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
There are no specific foods to avoid, but the tablet must be taken on a completely empty stomach. Food consumed before or too soon after taking the tablet significantly reduces how well the medication is absorbed. Follow the 30-minute waiting rule strictly.
