A convenient, clinically proven, needle-free weight loss treatment. The same active ingredient as the injection, now in a once-daily tablet.
Prescription-only medicine. Available after a consultation with one of our qualified prescribing clinicians.
What are Wegovy tablets?
Wegovy tablets contain semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by helping your body regulate appetite naturally. Unlike the weekly injection, they are taken once every day, which makes them an excellent choice for people who would rather not use needles.
How effective are Wegovy tablets?
Clinical studies have shown that Wegovy tablets can produce significant weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
More than the number on the scale
Many patients also experience wider health benefits as their weight comes down:
- ✓ Improved blood sugar control
- ✓ Reduced blood pressure
- ✓ Improved cholesterol levels
- ✓ Better mobility and overall wellbeing
Results vary between individuals and are best achieved alongside healthy lifestyle changes.
Who can take Wegovy tablets?
You may be eligible if you have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or above together with a weight-related medical condition.
Two ways to take Wegovy
Both deliver clinically proven weight loss. The difference is in the routine that suits you.
