Wegovy Pill is a tablet form of semaglutide used to support weight management.
It contains the same active ingredient as Wegovy injection, but it is taken in a different way.
Wegovy injection is taken once a week by injecting it under the skin.
Wegovy Pill is taken once a day by mouth.
Both treatments work by acting on GLP-1 receptors in the body.
This helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness and support lower calorie intake.
The main difference is how the medicine gets into your body.
Because Wegovy Pill is taken by mouth, it has stricter instructions for how it must be taken so that the medicine can absorb properly.
Wegovy Pill must still be prescribed by a clinician.
It may not be suitable for everyone, and you will need to complete a clinical assessment before treatment can be approved.
