Does Wegovy come in a tablet?
Wegovy is exclusively offered as an injectable treatment. While oral GLP-1 medications are available, they are not currently part of our service offerings. However, a new oral GLP-1 treatment is being developed, with manufacturers aiming for approval by 2026.
I have previously been taking Ozempic for weight loss. How do I switch to Wegovy?
If you are switching from Ozempic used for weight loss, the same guidance applies:
- If you are currently on Ozempic: You may switch to the same or next higher dose of Wegovy.
- If you had a short break in treatment: You may continue from your previous dose level.
- If you had a longer treatment gap: Restarting at 0.5mg Wegovy is safer and helps reduce side effects.
- Saxenda 3.0mg daily → Wegovy 0.5mg weekly
- Lower Saxenda dose → Wegovy 0.25mg
- Long gap after Saxenda → Wegovy 0.25mg
What is the difference between Wegovy and semaglutide?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient contained in Wegovy. It is a branded form of semaglutide that is specifically licensed for weight management. Other medicines, such as Ozempic and Rybelsus, also contain semaglutide but are licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes rather than weight loss.
How do I switch from Ozempic to Wegovy?
If you are currently using Ozempic or have used it previously for weight loss, the following guidance applies:
- If you are currently taking Ozempic: You may switch to the equivalent dose of Wegovy or the next dose level. For example, if you are on 1.0mg Ozempic, you may move to 1.7mg Wegovy.
- If you have had a short treatment gap of a few weeks: You may continue Wegovy at the dose you previously reached.
- If you were previously taking Ozempic 1.0mg and had a longer break: Restarting Wegovy at 0.5mg is recommended to reduce the risk of side effects such as nausea.
- If Ozempic is prescribed for type 2 diabetes: You should continue using Ozempic and not switch to Wegovy. Wegovy is not licensed for diabetes management.
How do I switch from Saxenda to Wegovy?
If you are currently using Saxenda or have used it previously, the following guidance applies:
- If you are taking Saxenda 3.0mg once daily: You may switch to Wegovy 0.5mg once weekly. Although both medicines belong to the GLP-1 class, they contain different active ingredients. Starting at 0.5mg helps reduce the risk of side effects. After four weeks, the dose may be increased gradually in line with prescribing guidance.
- If you are taking a lower dose than 3.0mg of Saxenda: You should start Wegovy at 0.25mg.
- If you previously used Saxenda but had a long break in treatment: Restarting at 0.25mg Wegovy is advised to improve tolerability.
Can I take Wegovy with other weight loss medications?
Using other weight loss medications alongside Wegovy is not recommended. The safety of combining these treatments has not been established, and doing so may increase the risk of side effects. In particular, you should not take any other medicines containing GLP-1 receptor agonists while using Wegovy, even if they are prescribed for diabetes.
Are there any over-the-counter versions of Wegovy available?
There are no over-the-counter versions of Wegovy available in the UK. While some non-prescription products claim to support weight loss, none offer the same mechanism of action or clinical evidence as Wegovy. Prescription assessment is required to ensure suitability and safety.
What is the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?
Wegovy and Ozempic both contain semaglutide, but they are prescribed for different purposes. It is approved for weight loss, while Ozempic is used to manage type 2 diabetes. Although they share the same active ingredient, their dosing differs to suit these distinct uses.
Wegovy medication primarily supports appetite control, whereas Ozempic focuses on blood sugar regulation in people with diabetes. The maximum Ozempic dose is 2mg, used only when lower doses do not adequately control blood glucose.
Why does weight loss plateau?
Plateaus can occur as the body adapts to changes. Adjustments to treatment, diet, or activity levels may help restart progress.
Is mental health support available to patients undergoing weight loss treatment?
Yes. Mental health support is available for those who need help managing emotional or behavioural challenges related to weight loss.
How much does Wegovy cost?
The Wegovy injection cost on the prescribed dose. Full Wegovy price information is provided during consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Can I use Wegovy while breastfeeding?
Do not use Wegovy while breastfeeding. It is unclear whether the medication passes into breast milk, so treatment should be avoided during this period.
For a complete description of any Wegovy side effects and restrictions, please make sure to read the Patient Information Leaflet.
Is Wegovy the same as Rybelsus?
No. Both contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is licensed for weight loss, while Rybelsus is prescribed for type 2 diabetes. They differ in purpose, dosing, and formulation.
Are there any other health benefits to using Wegovy?
Achieving a healthier weight can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Clinical studies also show improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation markers.
Can I get Wegovy without a prescription?
No. Wegovy is only available with a prescription in the UK following assessment by a licensed clinician.
