Wegovy tablets are a daily oral form of semaglutide, licensed for weight management. The active ingredient is the same as in the weekly injection; only the way it is delivered is different.
It works on the GLP-1 appetite hormone pathway, steadying appetite, slowing digestion and helping blood sugar control. Because the tablet is absorbed through the stomach lining, it is taken fasted with a small sip of water.
In a 64-week study, people on the 25mg daily tablet lost an average of 16.6% of their body weight with lifestyle support.
HOW IT WORKS
Clinician-led treatment works with the body’s own appetite signals rather than against them, which is why appetite can feel easier to manage while you are on it.
You feel less pulled towards food between meals, so choices get easier.
Your stomach empties more slowly, so smaller meals still satisfy.
The constant background thinking about food tends to settle down.
Fewer energy dips through the day, which means fewer hunger spikes.
ONE PATHWAY
Wegovy tablets copy one hormone pathway, the same one used by the established weekly injection. The molecule is identical; only the route into the body is different.
Slows stomach emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer
Reduces appetite and the drive to eat
Helps reduce food cravings and snacking
Helps control the rise in blood sugar after eating
Same molecule, two delivery routes. The choice is rarely about the medicine and almost always about which routine you will actually keep.

USING IT
An empty stomach, a small sip of water, then half an hour of patience. The routine is the whole treatment.

Wait
If you miss a dose, skip it and take the next one as usual the following day. Keep the tablets in their original blister at room temperature, below 30 degrees, away from damp. No fridge and no sharps bin needed.
SAFETY
Side effects are common when you start any new medicine. Most are mild and ease off as your body settles, and going up more slowly helps more than anything else.
Like all medicines, oral semaglutide has side effects. In the OASIS trials, nausea, diarrhoea and constipation were the common ones. They were usually mild, worst in the first week after a dose increase, and faded within a few days as the body settled.
THE MOST COMMON WEGOVY TABLET SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE
These are usually worst in the first week after a dose increase and settle within a few days. Going up more slowly helps more than anything else.
WE WILL NOT PRESCRIBE IT IF
Rare but serious — get medical help straight away for severe tummy pain spreading to your back, yellow skin or eyes, swelling of the face, lips or throat, trouble breathing, or vomiting you cannot stop.
Climb the strengths slowly, use smaller plates, stop when comfortable rather than full, keep fatty and fried food light after a step up, and drink steadily once the 30-minute window has passed.
Constipation, reflux, bloating, dizziness and tiredness can also happen. Speak to the clinical team if a symptom is lasting, worsening, or getting in the way of your usual routine.
Message the clinical team on WhatsApp, seven days a week. We can tell you what needs attention and what usually settles on its own.

YOUR PROJECTION
Put in your details to see a personalised trajectory over 64 weeks, based on oral semaglutide trial outcomes.
Your BMI and estimated 64-week trajectory will appear here.
Estimate only, based on published STEP 1 trial data. Individual results vary.QUESTIONS
In the OASIS 4 trial, people taking the 25mg daily tablet lost an average of around 16.6% of body weight over 64 weeks. Individual results vary.
At the top strength the trial figures are comparable, but the studies were separate. The tablet needs a daily fasted routine while the injection is taken once a week.
Both contain semaglutide. Tablets are daily, fasted and kept at room temperature; the injection is weekly and needs a fridge and sharps bin.
Appetite usually changes within the first one to two weeks. Weight loss typically becomes clear from around the third month.
Most people regain some weight after stopping any GLP-1 medicine, because appetite returns as the medicine clears.
Oral semaglutide is a prescription-only medicine considered safe for most eligible adults when prescribed and monitored by a registered clinician.
The most common are nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, tummy pain, indigestion, headache and tiredness.
Alcohol is best limited because it can worsen nausea and reflux.
Take one tablet daily on an empty stomach with no more than 120ml of plain water, then wait at least 30 minutes before food, drinks or other tablets.
Skip it and take the next tablet at the usual time the following morning. Never take two tablets on the same day.
No. The tablet must be swallowed whole.
No. Keep them in their original blister at room temperature, below 30 degrees, away from damp.
