How it works

The pen's effect, in a tablet.

Oral semaglutide is absorbed through the stomach lining with a special carrier molecule, so it reaches your bloodstream like the injection does — provided it's taken correctly.

01

Take it right

Swallow with no more than half a glass of water, first thing, then wait 30 minutes before eating, drinking or other tablets. This matters — food blocks absorption.

02

Fullness arrives sooner

GLP-1 signals to your brain that you've had enough. Portions shrink, cravings soften.

03

Weight comes down

With the dose stepped up over the first months, average loss in the OASIS trials was around 14% of body weight.

Strengths

Stepped up to the daily maintenance dose.

You start low and your pharmacist moves you up roughly monthly to the maintenance dose, only when you're ready.

  • 1.5mg
  • 4mg
  • 9mg
  • 25mg

Your dose is set by your prescriber, not chosen at checkout. The 30-minute empty-stomach rule is the single biggest factor in whether the tablet works — we'll help you build it into your morning.

Who it's for

Is Wegovy Pill right for you?

The Wegovy pill is prescribed for adults who meet UK licensing criteria for weight management.

Likely suitable if

  • You're 18 or over
  • Your BMI is 30 or above, or 27 or above with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea
  • You've tried diet and exercise changes without lasting results
  • You'd rather not inject, and can commit to a consistent morning routine

Not suitable if

  • You're pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy
  • You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
  • You've had pancreatitis
  • You have type 1 diabetes or severe gastrointestinal disease
  • You're taking another GLP-1 medicine

This is a guide, not a decision. A UK-registered prescriber reviews your full consultation and decides whether Wegovy Pill is clinically appropriate for you. Completing a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.

Good to know

Common questions.

Pill or pen — which should I choose?

Same molecule, so it comes down to preference. The pen is once a week and slightly more forgiving; the pill is daily but needle-free. Weight loss in trials was broadly comparable. Your prescriber will help you decide.

Why the 30-minute rule?

Semaglutide is fragile in the gut. The tablet uses an absorption enhancer that only works on an empty stomach with a small sip of water. Coffee, food or a big glass of water can stop it working.

What if I forget a tablet?

Skip it and take your next one the following morning as usual. Don't take two in one day.

Can I switch from the pen?

Yes, with your prescriber's guidance. They'll map your current pen dose to the right tablet dose so you don't lose progress.

Do I have to stay on it forever?

It works while you take it. If you stop, appetite tends to return, so we plan maintenance and lifestyle support with you rather than just stopping.
