Description
Wegovy® Tablets for Weight Loss
Wegovy® tablets are a prescription-only weight loss treatment containing semaglutide, a clinically proven medicine that supports long-term weight management. Unlike injectable semaglutide, Wegovy® tablets offer a convenient once-daily option for adults who prefer taking a tablet instead of using injections.
When you combine Wegovy® tablets with healthy lifestyle changes, they can help reduce your appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and make it easier to manage portion sizes. As a result, many people find it easier to eat fewer calories and work towards their weight loss goals. However, a qualified clinician must first assess your suitability before prescribing treatment.
How do Wegovy® tablets work?
Wegovy® tablets contain semaglutide, which mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). Normally, your body releases this hormone after eating to help regulate appetite and signal to your brain that you feel full.
As a result, Wegovy® tablets can help you:
- Reduce feelings of hunger throughout the day
- Feel fuller after meals
- Control food cravings more effectively
- Lower your daily calorie intake
- Support steady, sustainable weight loss alongside healthy lifestyle changes
Over time, many people find it easier to eat smaller portions, make healthier food choices, and develop lasting habits that support long-term weight management.
Who are Wegovy® tablets suitable for?
Wegovy® tablets may suit adults who meet the clinical criteria for prescription weight loss treatment. Before starting treatment, one of our qualified clinicians will review your medical history, current health, and weight management goals. They will then decide whether Wegovy® tablets are the right option for you.
Although Wegovy® tablets can benefit many people, they are not suitable for everyone. Therefore, our clinicians always recommend the treatment that best matches your individual health needs.
Supporting your weight loss journey
Wegovy® tablets work best when you use them as part of a structured weight management programme. For the best results, you should combine treatment with:
- A balanced, reduced-calorie diet
- Regular physical activity
- Long-term healthy eating habits
- Ongoing clinical support where appropriate
Although the tablets can help reduce your appetite, healthy lifestyle changes remain essential. By following your personalised plan consistently, you can improve your chances of achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals.
Why choose Wegovy® tablets?
Many people prefer taking one tablet each day instead of using a weekly injection. Consequently, Wegovy® tablets provide a convenient way to access the benefits of semaglutide while fitting more easily into everyday life.
Our clinicians begin every treatment journey with a comprehensive medical assessment. If Wegovy® tablets are suitable for you, they will explain exactly how to take your medication safely and effectively while supporting you throughout your treatment.
Wegovy® tablets have MHRA approval for weight management in the UK and are available by private prescription only. When you combine treatment with healthier eating habits and regular exercise, Wegovy® tablets can play an important role in helping you achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss.
Warnings
Wegovy® tablets are not suitable for everyone. Do not take this medication if you:
- Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
- Have a known allergy or serious hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any ingredient in the tablet
Tell your prescriber before starting Wegovy® tablets if you:
- Have or have previously had pancreatitis
- Have gallbladder or kidney problems
- Have diabetic eye disease (retinopathy)
- Have a history of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts
- Are taking other medicines, particularly insulin, sulfonylureas, or any other oral medications (timing of administration may be affected)
- Have any other serious medical conditions
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.
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
Ingredients
- Semaglutide: A GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics your natural gut hormone to suppress appetite, slow down stomach digestion, and help you feel full.
- Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC): Protects the peptide from stomach acid and drives absorption into the bloodstream.
- Magnesium stearate: A common non-hazardous manufacturing lubricant and binder for tablet formation.

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
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
Serious side effects — seek medical advice promptly if you experience:
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain (which may indicate pancreatitis)
- Symptoms of gallbladder problems such as pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, or jaundice
- 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
