What is Wegovy Pill?

Semaglutide is the medicine in Wegovy. The oral version works on the same pathway as the injection, taken as a daily tablet instead of a weekly injection.

It is prescribed as part of a supported programme, not on its own. That means an assessment first, regular reviews, and honest conversations about diet, activity and how you are getting on.
