What is the Wegovy pill?
Wegovy pills are an oral semaglutide medication used to support weight loss by helping you regulate your appetite and food intake. They are designed for people who want medical support without injections.
What is the active ingredient in Wegovy pills?
The active ingredient is semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics hormones involved in appetite control.
Semaglutide, whether in tablets or an injectable pen, works by:
- reducing hunger signals in your brain
- slowing how quickly your stomach empties
- helping you feel fuller for longer
In the Wegovy pill, semaglutide is combined with a 'carrier molecule' which helps the medication get into your bloodstream through your stomach.
How effective are Wegovy pills?
During the 2025 OASIS 4 trial looking at the effects of oral semaglutide on people with overweight or obesity, it was shown that patients on average lost 17% of their starting body weight while on Wegovy tablets.
However, early responders during (those that lost more than 10% of their starting weight by week 16) saw an average weight loss of 22% by the end of the trial.
This compares to the average weight loss of 21% seen on Wegovy injections.
Weight loss | Percentage |
|---|---|
Average weight loss during clinical trials | 17% |
Average weight loss for early responders during clinical trials | 22% |
Patients who lost at least 5% of their starting weight | 76% |
Patients who lost at least 10% of their starting weight | 60% |
Patients who lost at least 15% of their starting weight | 47% |
Patients who lost 20% or more | 28% |
However, overall weight loss varies depending on:
- your starting weight
- your diet
- your level of physical activity
- how well you stick to the treatment
Who is eligible for the Wegovy pill?
The eligibility requirements for Wegovy pills are the same for injections. You’ll need:
- a BMI of 30 or above, or
- a BMI of 27 or above alongside a weight-related health condition like type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol
Once they’re available to order, you’ll need to complete a consultation so we can assess if the treatment is a good fit for you.
What are the available doses of Wegovy pills?
The available doses of Wegovy tablets are as follows:
- 1.5mg – starting dose
- 4mg
- 9mg
- 25mg – maximum dose
Wegovy pills dosing schedule
Dose | Duration |
|---|---|
1.5mg once a day | Days 1 to 30 |
4mg once a day | Days 31 to 60 |
9mg once a day | Days 61 to 90 |
25mg once a day | Day 91 onwards |
As with Wegovy injections, patients are recommended to gradually increase their dose over time, so you can get used to the medication.
Can I switch from Wegovy injections to pills?
Yes, you can switch from Wegovy injections to Wegovy pills. However, you should only do so under clinical supervision. We offer the following guidance for switching between the two treatments:
Switching from Wegovy injections to Wegovy pills
Wegovy injection dose | Wegovy pills dose |
|---|---|
0.25mg | 4mg |
0.5mg | 4mg |
1mg | 4mg, or 9mg if you had no side effects on the 1mg injection |
1.7mg | 9mg |
2.4mg | 25mg |
If you're on Wegovy 7.2mg, it's possible to switch to the 25mg tablets. While the tablets are slightly less effective than the maximum injectable dose, they are more effective than 2.4mg, and may be a better, more convenient fit for your routine, especially as a maintenance dose.
Can I switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy pills?
If you're taking Mounjaro and thinking about switching to Wegovy pills, you should only do so under clinical guidance. Our current dose recommendation, once the tablets are available, is:
Switching from Mounjaro injections to Wegovy pills

However, always speak with your prescribing pharmacist before switching or stopping any medication.
