Take it at the same time every morning. Set a daily reminder so it quickly becomes second nature.
Swallow one tablet whole with a little plain water on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food, drink or other medicines.
Stay well hydrated through the day. It helps any early side effects settle and keeps you feeling your best.
Keep the pack somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Aim for balanced, protein-rich meals. Smaller portions will feel natural as your appetite eases.
Track progress in the app and use your weekly check-ins to fine-tune the plan with your clinician and coach.
Body weight lost (%)
*Based on large randomised clinical trials.
For most people, excess weight is driven by biology, not a lack of effort. GLP-1 medicines like semaglutide work with that biology rather than against it.
Wegovy Pill is an oral form of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Taken as one tablet a day, it uses the same active ingredient as the Wegovy injection to work with your body’s own appetite signals – no needles required.
GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after eating to tell your brain you’re full. Semaglutide mimics it, so hunger quietens, you feel satisfied sooner and portions naturally shrink – making a calorie deficit far easier to sustain than through diet alone.
Results build gradually as your dose steps up over the first few months. The figures below are averages from clinical trials – your own journey will be personal to you.
The pill isn’t the only route. Explore the other treatments our clinicians can prescribe.

Each figure is that treatment’s published percentage of body weight lost within a year, applied to the weight you entered. It is not a prediction for you – individual results vary, and your clinician decides which treatment you are eligible for. Prices are the lowest monthly price for each treatment.

A typical first year
