Wegovy® (semaglutide) tablets
Daily tablet. Prescription only.
About this treatment
Active ingredient: Semaglutide.
Wegovy tablets contain semaglutide, which mimics a natural hormone. It helps regulate your appetite, slows the emptying of your stomach and increases feelings of fullness.
It is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity.
How it's taken
Take one tablet a day when you wake up, with a glass of water. Don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes afterwards.
Strengths: 1.5 mg, 4 mg, 9 mg, 25 mg.
The dose is usually increased month by month: 1.5 mg, then 4 mg, then 9 mg, then 25 mg once a day from month 4. The clinician decides your dose, and some people need an individual plan.
Trial results
Average 16.6% weight loss over 64 weeks at 25 mg in people who took it as directed (OASIS 4 trial). Individual results vary.
