Wegovy you can take orally, without having to inject.

The Wegovy pill is a weight loss tablet that you take every day to support your journey. It contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient in Wegovy pens. Wegovy pills help manage your blood sugar levels and make you feel more full after eating. They’re prescribed as part of a weight loss plan that includes a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Wegovy Tablet Semaglutide

What is the Wegovy pill?

Wegovy pills are the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist treatment for weight loss. You’ll take them every day, alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine. This should help to support consistent weight loss.

Who can use Wegovy pills?

Wegovy is licensed for use by people with a BMI of 30 or higher, or with a BMI of 27 or higher if you also have a weight related health condition, like heart disease or diabetes.

What active ingredient is in Wegovy pills?

Semaglutide, a type of GLP-1 receptor agonist, is the active ingredient in both Wegovy pens and pills. It works by mimicking the action of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

This hormone is normally released by your gut after you’ve eaten. It tells your body to release insulin to bring your blood sugar levels back down, and sends signals to your brain to tell it that you’re full. It can also slow down how quickly food passes through your digestive system.1

How do Wegovy pills work?

Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors in the same way your natural GLP-1 hormone does, mimicking its action. If your body’s production of GLP-1 is impaired, or if your natural GLP-1 isn’t as effective as it should be, you can end up eating more when you don’t need to, leading to overweight and obesity.2

By activating your GLP-1 receptors, Wegovy pills can help to quiet the ‘noise’ of hunger cues and cravings, as well as make you feel more full after eating. This means you should feel like eating less, which can support your weight loss journey.

What doses of Wegovy pill are there?

Wegovy pills come in four doses. The lowest dose is 1.5 mg, then 4 mg, then 9 mg, and the highest dose is 25 mg. You’ll begin by taking the starting dose of 1.5 mg for 30 days, and then begin to move up doses after that depending on how well you tolerate treatment.

How to take Wegovy pills

Always follow your prescriber’s instructions when you’re taking Wegovy pills. You should take your Wegovy pill each morning on an empty stomach, with a drink of water. Wait at least half an hour after you take your tablet before eating any food, drinking anything that isn’t water, or taking other oral medication.

You’ll usually start on the lowest dose of Wegovy pills: 1.5 mg. You’ll take this dose for 30 days, then, if you’re feeling good, you can move up to the 4 mg dose (when directed by your healthcare provider) for another 30 days. Then, if you’re not struggling with side effects, you can move up to the 9 mg dose, which you’ll take for 30 more days. Finally, you’ll move up to the maintenance dose of 25 mg – which is where you’ll typically stay for the rest of the time you’re taking Wegovy pills.

But if you’re struggling with side effects, your doctor may keep you on a specific dose for longer than 30 days. This gives your body more time to get used to the medicine. And if you move up a dose and find the side effects are too much to manage, you’re able to drop back down to the previous dose, too. You should only increase or decrease your dose as instructed by your doctor.

Wegovy pills aren’t suitable for everyone, and there are some things that you need to be aware of when taking them.

Here’s all the official info. If anything is unclear, let our clinician know, and they can talk with you about it.

Wegovy Tablet: FAQ

Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Is Wegovy a pill or injection?

Answer:
Both. Wegovy is available as a once-a-week injection, and a daily pill. They both contain the same active ingredient and work in the same way, it’s just how (and how often) you take them that’s different. In both cases, you’ll typically need to start at the low dose and work your way up, to give your body a chance to get used to the treatment.

Should I avoid alcohol while taking Wegovy pills?

Answer:
Alcohol can make common side effects of Wegovy (like nausea and vomiting) worse. Alcoholic drinks can also be very high in sugar and calories, which could disrupt your calorie deficit and healthy diet. It can also be a lot more tempting to reach for ultra-processed, high-fat foods after you've had a drink. But it’s really important to find your own balance that’s sustainable, so you stick to your weight loss goals.

What should I eat while using Wegovy pills?

Answer:
Try to fill your diet with as many nutrient-dense, whole foods as possible during your treatment. This is because you’ll likely be eating a reduced-calorie diet, putting you at greater risk of nutrient deficiencies. Eating fewer calories helps to create a calorie deficit, where your body burns more calories in a day that you consume. Research suggests that a calorie deficit is the most important factor when trying to lose weight.[1]

Try to avoid fried and ultra-processed foods that are high in saturated fats. Instead, eat a varied, balanced diet that includes lots of fruit, vegetables, and fibre. Foods that are spicy, greasy, or acidic can make Wegovy side effects like nausea and indigestion worse. This is because Wegovy slows down how quickly they pass through your digestive system, so they stay in your stomach for longer.

Are there any Wegovy pill alternatives?

Answer:
Yes, you’ve got options to support your weight loss journey.

If you’re looking for an alternative oral weight loss treatment, orlistat (sold as a generic and under the brand Xenical) could be a good alternative. It doesn’t affect your appetite and cravings like Wegovy; instead, it reduces the amount of fat you absorb from food. You’ll take it whenever you eat a meal that contains fat (up to three times a day), and it can reduce the amount of fat you absorb by up to 33%. This excess fat will be passed in your stool. It’s really important to eat a diet that’s low in fat (less than 30% of your daily calories) to reduce the side effects of Xenical and to help it work as effectively as possible.

But if you’d prefer a treatment you don’t have to remember to take as frequently, weight loss injections like Wegovy or Zepbound pens might be a better option. You’ll only need to take these once a week, instead of every day. They work in the same way as Wegovy tablets: by reducing your appetite and cravings for food, helping you to feel fuller after eating, and slowing down how quickly your stomach empties.

How effective is Wegovy in pill form for weight loss?

Answer:
The Wegovy pill has proven to be an effective support for weight loss in clinical trials. In the Phase III OASIS 4 trial, people taking Wegovy 25 mg pills alongside regular physical activity and a low-calorie diet lost an average of 16.6% of their body weight after 64 weeks, compared with 2.7% in the placebo group. One third of people taking part in the trial achieved at least 20% weight loss (compared with 3% for placebo), too.[2]

How long does it take for Wegovy in pill form to work for weight loss?

Answer:
There’s no set timeline for losing weight with Wegovy. Everyone responds to treatment differently, and everyone’s weight loss progress will be different. You may start to notice some visible changes in the first four to eight weeks of treatment.

Do I need a prescription for Wegovy pills?

Answer:
Yes. Wegovy pills are a prescription-only treatment, and a healthcare professional will need to check to make sure they’re the right treatment for you before you use them. Wegovy is licensed by the FDA to help support weight loss in people with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more if you have a weight-related health condition.

What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Wegovy pills?

Answer:
If you miss a Wegovy tablet, you should skip the dose you missed and carry on from your regular schedule for the next dose. Never take a double dose of Wegovy pills to make up for a missed one.

If you accidentally take too many Wegovy pills, get medical attention right away. You may experience severe nausea and vomiting, and dangerously low blood sugar levels.

Do Wegovy pills cause side effects?

Answer:
Wegovy pills carry some risk of side effects, the same as any medication you might take. The most common side effects of Wegovy include:

  • Nausea

  • Diarrhea

  • Vomiting

  • Constipation

  • A runny nose or sore throat

  • An upset stomach

  • Abdominal pain

  • Headaches

  • Fatigue

  • Dizziness

  • Bloating

  • Belching

  • Low blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes

  • Gas

  • Stomach flu

  • Heartburn


If you have any questions or concerns about Wegovy side effects, speak to your healthcare provider.

Can I get Wegovy in pill form through private health insurance?

Answer:
Yes. If a doctor has prescribed Wegovy pills to help you manage your weight, many health insurance plans will offer coverage. But you should check your insurer’s formulary and what conditions they’ll cover Wegovy pills for. Some insurers may only offer coverage for Wegovy pills if you have a health condition related to your weight.

It’s best to get in contact with your insurer and healthcare provider to see whether you need to get prior authorization before they’ll cover it, too. This is a conversation between your insurance company and doctor to check that Wegovy pills are a medical necessity for you. If your insurance agrees to cover Wegovy pills, you can get them for as low as $25 monthly copay – but the price you pay can differ between insurers.

If you can’t get Wegovy pills through your health insurance, you should still be able to get them from an online pharmacy service. A healthcare professional will just need to make sure they’re suitable for you before prescribing them.
