About Wegovy Tablets (Pending regulatory approval)
The United States FDA approved the Wegovy pill on 22 December 2025 for obesity treatment in the US, marking the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist indicated for weight management. Wegovy Tablets are not yet licensed in the UK, however, the UK MHRA’s review of oral Wegovy is currently in progress and it is estimated that it may be available in the UK as early as mid 2026, subject to regulatory approval and local marketing authorisation.
Wegovy Tablets contain the active ingredient semaglutide, developed to treat obesity and overweight. It is taken once daily in the morning on an empty stomach. Wegovy Tablets are available as an oral tablet formulation and are used in adults aged 18 years and older.
Wegovy Tablets are commonly prescribed to treat obesity or overweight in adults who also have weight-related medical problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain which regulate appetite and food intake. By reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness, Wegovy Tablets help to reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss.
Wegovy Tablets are not a hormonal treatment and do not function as a contraceptive. They are a prescription-only medication and may be recommended alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management.
Subject to regulatory approval and marketing authorisation, NowPatient will offer Wegovy Tablets as a treatment for weight loss following an online consultation with a prescriber.

Information about using Wegovy Tablets with other medications
Wegovy Tablets may affect the way some medicines work, and some medicines may affect the way Wegovy Tablets work. Let your prescribing clinician know if you are taking other medicines to treat diabetes, including sulfonylureas or insulin. Wegovy Tablets slow stomach emptying and can affect medicines that need to pass through the stomach quickly.
Why might Wegovy Tablets not work for weight loss?
Wegovy Tablets may take several weeks to show visible results. In clinical trials, meaningful weight loss was observed over a 64-week period. If, after following the full dose titration schedule and using the maintenance dose, your weight has not improved, you should speak with your healthcare provider for further advice. Weight loss results vary between individuals.
Can Wegovy Tablets be used long-term?
Wegovy Tablets can be used as long as your clinician recommends. Once you have achieved your weight loss goals, they may advise continuing treatment to help maintain weight loss. Long-term use should always be monitored by a healthcare professional.
How to store Wegovy Tablets
- Keep Wegovy Tablets out of the sight and reach of children.
- Do not use this medicine after the expiry date shown on the bottle and carton (marked as “EXP”). The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
- Store tablets in the closed Wegovy bottle until you are ready to take one, not in another container.
- No special storage conditions are required for this medicine.
- Do not dispose of unused Wegovy Tablets in wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to properly dispose of medicines you no longer use. These steps help protect the environment.
Is there a herbal Wegovy Tablets?
No. Herbal Wegovy does not exist. If you have been marketed such a product, it may be counterfeit or unsafe. Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved and may not be absorbed or effective without the specialised technology in genuine Wegovy Tablets.
Should I avoid any particular food or drink when using Wegovy Tablets?
You must take Wegovy Tablets on an empty stomach with only a small sip of water (up to 120 ml) and wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other oral medications. This is essential for the tablet to be absorbed properly. Beyond this, you can eat and drink normally, though you should follow a reduced-calorie diet as part of your weight management plan.
What lifestyle changes can I make to help with weight loss?
There are several lifestyle changes that may improve your weight loss results:
- Follow a reduced-calorie diet as recommended by your healthcare provider
- Increase physical activity – aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week
- Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins
- Reduce intake of sugary drinks, processed foods, and high-fat foods
- Get adequate sleep (7-9 hours per night)
- Manage stress through relaxation techniques
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water

FAQs
Answers to Popular Questions About Wegovy Tablets
What are Wegovy Tablets?
Wegovy Tablets (oral semaglutide for weight management) represent a potential oral formulation of semaglutide for chronic weight management. Novo Nordisk has been developing oral semaglutide at higher doses than Rybelsus (which is licensed for type 2 diabetes) specifically for obesity treatment. An oral formulation would provide the convenience of a tablet versus the once-weekly injection of current Wegovy pens. At the time of writing, regulatory status and availability in the UK should be confirmed with your prescriber or checked through NowPatient.
How would oral Wegovy work?
Oral semaglutide for weight management uses the same SNAC absorption-enhancer technology as Rybelsus, protecting semaglutide from stomach acid and facilitating absorption across the gastric lining. Once absorbed, it activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and increase satiety. Higher oral doses (up to 50 mg daily in clinical trials) aim to achieve weight loss comparable to the injectable 2.4 mg weekly formulation.
How effective are oral semaglutide tablets for weight loss?
Clinical trials (OASIS programme) of higher-dose oral semaglutide showed weight loss of approximately 15–17% of body weight — approaching the efficacy of injectable Wegovy (12–15%). This represents a significant advance, as an oral formulation at comparable efficacy to injections would broaden access and improve convenience for patients who prefer tablets over injections.
How would I take Wegovy Tablets?
Based on the oral semaglutide formulation: take the tablet on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with up to half a glass (120 mL) of plain water only. Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medications. Swallow whole — do not crush, chew, or split. These strict fasting requirements are essential for proper absorption and are the same as for Rybelsus. A dose escalation schedule would be followed to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
What are the expected side effects?
Based on clinical trial data, the side effect profile is similar to all semaglutide formulations: nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, and constipation are the most common side effects, primarily during dose escalation. These gastrointestinal effects typically improve over time. Eating smaller meals and avoiding fatty foods helps manage symptoms. The same contraindications as injectable Wegovy would apply, including avoidance in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma history or MEN 2.
How can I get oral semaglutide for weight management?
Availability of oral semaglutide specifically for weight management may depend on regulatory approval status and licensing in the UK. Check with your prescriber or NowPatient for the most current availability information. Rybelsus (oral semaglutide for type 2 diabetes) is already available on prescription. Injectable Wegovy remains available for eligible patients requiring weight management treatment.
