About Wegovy pills
What is the Wegovy pill and how does it work?
The Wegovy pill is an oral form of semaglutide. It acts on GLP-1 receptors to slow stomach emptying and reduce appetite, in the same way as the injection, but taken as a daily tablet.
Can I buy it online?
Yes, through a clinician-led assessment. It’s a prescription-only medicine and can’t be bought over the counter.
How long until it works?
Appetite often changes within the first few weeks. Weight loss builds gradually as your dose is stepped up over several months.
How to take it
Take it on an empty stomach with no more than half a glass of water, and wait 30 minutes before eating, drinking or taking other medicines.

Wegovy pill comparisons
Wegovy pill vs Wegovy injection
Same active ingredient, different delivery. The pill is taken daily on an empty stomach; the injection is once weekly, with the larger evidence base for weight loss.
Wegovy pill vs Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a weekly dual-hormone injection with higher average weight loss in studies. The pill suits people who’d rather avoid needles.
Wegovy pill vs Saxenda
Saxenda is a daily injection of liraglutide. The Wegovy pill offers daily dosing without injecting, with semaglutide as the active ingredient.
Wegovy pill vs Foundayo
Both are once-daily oral treatments. Your clinician will advise which is more appropriate based on your history and tolerance.

Interactions

Storage & travel
Store tablets in the original blister pack at room temperature, below 30°C, away from moisture. No refrigeration needed, which makes travel easy.
Stopping, restarting and switching
Before changing your treatment, speak to your prescriber.
Stopping treatment
Oral semaglutide doesn’t cause physical withdrawal, but appetite commonly returns toward pre-treatment levels and some weight regain is common.
Restarting
After a short break you can usually restart on your last tolerated dose. After a longer gap you may need to restart at 3mg and re-titrate.
Switching to an injection
Your prescriber will advise the equivalent injection starting dose and the timing of your first pen after your last tablet.
Alternatives
- Mounjaro: weekly dual-hormone injection
- Wegovy injection: weekly semaglutide pen
- Foundayo: once-daily oral treatment
- Orlistat: reduces fat absorbed from food
