About Wegovy
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription weight loss medication containing semaglutide. It’s specifically for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, or 27 or more with weight-related health conditions, including prediabetes and high blood pressure.
Wegovy can help regulate your appetite and reduce food cravings, while also delaying the emptying of your stomach, so you feel full for longer periods after eating. You inject Wegovy once per week, and it follows a dosage schedule up to a maximum dose of 2.4mg.
Your doctor will also encourage you to eat a lower-calorie diet, follow healthy eating habits, and exercise more often while taking Wegovy. This helps you get the most from your treatment. You can buy Wegovy in the UK online from regulated prescribing services like Superdrug Online Doctor with a prescription.
How does Wegovy work?
The Wegovy injection works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps to regulate your blood sugar levels and sends signals to the receptors in your brain that manage appetite.
Wegovy helps you to lose weight because it:
The Wegovy injection was also found, on average, to reduce:
- reduces your appetite, so you do not need to eat as many calories to feel full
- delays how quickly food empties out of your stomach, so you’ll feel fuller for longer
- helps to regulate your blood sugar levels, reducing cravings and blood sugar spikes (this can be especially helpful for people with prediabetes or insulin resistance)
How long does Wegovy take to work?
Wegovy will start working from the very first injection, and you may start to feel fuller within the first few days. In the first month of taking Wegovy injections alongside a healthy diet plan and regular exercise, you can expect to lose around 2% of your starting weight. However, you’ll notice the effects more as you follow the dosage schedule and reach a higher dose. “As it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to see significant weight loss, your doctor will wait until you’ve been taking the Wegovy injection for 6 months before checking you’ve reached a weight loss of at least 5% from your starting weight. If this is not the case, you and your doctor will discuss whether it’s the right decision to continue taking Wegovy.” - Dr Brenda Ikeji, Medical Editor.How effective is Wegovy?
Wegovy is an effective treatment for weight loss, and studies show that the 2.4mg maintenance dose works for 83.5% of people who take it. After taking 2.4mg of Wegovy over 68 weeks, the average weight lost was 17% from starting weight. This is compared to a 2.4% loss of weight in those taking a placebo.The Wegovy injection was also found, on average, to reduce:
- waist circumference by 13.5cm
- systolic blood pressure by 6.2 millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
How do I use a Wegovy pen?
Wegovy comes in the form of an injectable pen, which you’ll inject yourself with once a week. You don’t need to measure your dose, as each pen contains 4 doses that will last for 4 weeks. It’s recommended to take your Wegovy injection at the same time and day every week to get the best effect and reduce side effects.
Where to inject Wegovy
You can inject Wegovy into your lower abdomen, thigh, or upper arm (with the help of someone else), depending on which is easiest and most comfortable for you. Wherever you choose to inject Wegovy, divide the section up into smaller sections and choose a different area to inject each week. This helps reduce Wegovy injection site irritation or soreness.
How to use Wegovy
To use your Wegovy pen, you’ll need a few minutes, a fresh needle, a sharps bin, and a comfortable place to inject it. You can follow our step-by-step guide but before your first dose, you should also read all the information in the patient information leaflet. Preparing your Wegovy pen- Wash your hands and the injection site with warm soapy water to prevent contaminating the needle.
- Check your pen label to make sure it contains your prescribed dose of Wegovy.
- Remove the pen cap and look through the small viewing window, where you can see the Wegovy liquid in the pen. Make sure that the liquid is clear and colourless. If it is not, do not use this pen and contact your doctor or prescribing service.
- When you’re ready to inject, push a new needle onto the pen and turn it on tightly before removing the caps.
- If it’s your first time using this pen, you’ll need to check the flow. You can do this by turning the “dose selector” on the end of the pen until you reach the ‘flow check’ symbol (2 dots and a line).
- When you press the button, a small droplet of Wegovy should form on the tip of the needle. If it does, you’re ready to inject.
- If a drop does not appear, check the flow again. This should only be done twice.
- If there is still no drop, change the needle and check the flow once more. Do not use the pen if a drop of Wegovy still does not appear.
- Turn the dose selector until you reach your prescribed dose.
- Insert the needle into your skin and press the button, holding it down until the number on the dose counter reaches 0. Continue holding the button down after it reaches 0, and then count to 6. This makes sure all of the medication is properly injected.
- Remove the needle slowly from your skin, and then dispose of the needle and cap in the provided sharps bin.
- Put the cap back on your Wegovy injection pen and store it safely, away from sunlight, until you need to take your next dose.
What is the dosage of Wegovy?
There are 5 different doses of Wegovy:
- 0.25mg
- 0.5mg
- 1mg
- 1.7mg
- 2.4mg
Wegovy dosage schedule
The Wegovy dosage schedule is as follows:- Month 1: You will start with the recommended dose of 0.25mg.
- Month 2: Your dose will be increased to 0.5mg.
- Month 3: Your dose will be increased to 1mg.
- Month 4: Your dose will be increased to 1.7mg.
- Month 5 and beyond: Your dose will be increased to 2.4mg, the maintenance dose. You will continue taking this dose for the rest of your treatment.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Wegovy?
If it is 5 days or less since you should have used Wegovy, take it as soon as you remember. Inject your next dose as usual on your scheduled day even if this means taking 2 doses within a few days of one another. If it is more than 5 days since you should have used Wegovy, skip your missed dose. Inject your next one as usual on your next scheduled day. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. If you forget Wegovy for more than 2 weeks, you might need to restart treatment from the 0.25mg dosage. Speak to your doctor if you’ve missed several Wegovy injections.Where can I buy Wegovy?
You can buy Wegovy in the UK with a prescription from trusted and regulated online doctor services, like Superdrug Online Doctor. You can also get it on the NHS, although the criteria for getting it is different from private services. Wegovy must be prescribed by a doctor, so you won’t be able to get it over the counter.
Can I buy Wegovy online?
Yes, you can buy Wegovy online through our service. To get your prescription and treatment, follow these simple steps:- Complete a short medical questionnaire, which checks for any health conditions and current medications that could interact with Wegovy.
- You’ll also be asked to send some photos which are completely confidential and used by our doctors to check that Wegovy is a safe option for you. We need to do this to prescribe weight loss medication online. Read our photo guidelines to find out more.
- Once complete, your questionnaire and photos are sent to a registered doctor who can determine whether Wegovy is suitable for you, or whether another medication may be better.
- After approval, you can collect your medication from a convenient Superdrug Pharmacy or have it delivered directly to you.
Can I buy Wegovy over the counter?
No, you cannot buy Wegovy over the counter. The active ingredient semaglutide needs to be prescribed to make sure it’s safe and suitable. Be cautious of any website offering genuine medication without a prescription, as this is illegal or the treatment could be fake.Can I get Wegovy on the NHS?
Yes, you can get Wegovy on the NHS but only in certain circumstances. You can find out more on the NHS website. Some GPs and pharmacists can prescribe Wegovy, although this is not a UK-wide standard at the moment. Otherwise, you’ll need a referral to a special weight management service and this can take anywhere from a few months to a few years, as demand is high.Can you buy generic Wegovy?
No, you cannot buy generic Wegovy in the UK, or anywhere else yet. Wegovy weight loss injections are currently under a patent with the manufacturer, so other manufacturers cannot make it a generic treatment yet. You’ll be able to buy generic semaglutide sometime in or after 2031 when the patent expires.Side effects of Wegovy

Wegovy warnings

Talk to your doctor before taking Wegovy if you:

- have any problems with your pancreas, or have ever had pancreatitis
- have been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy
- are due to have surgery under anaesthetic (where you’ll be put to sleep)
- have had an allergy to similar medications before, such as another GLP-1 receptor agonist
- antidiabetic drugs, for example, sulfonylureas and insulin, which can increase the risk of low blood sugar
- other GLP-1 agonists such as Saxenda or Mounjaro, as this can increase the risk of all side effects and should never be taken alongside each other
Wegovy alternatives
Wegovy alternatives include other weight loss injections that contain a similar active ingredient, or weight loss tablets that work in different ways. Whether you cannot take Wegovy, or just want to explore your different options, here we look at the best weight loss treatments available at Superdrug Online Doctor.
Weight loss injections
Mounjaro Mounjaro is a similar weight loss injection that contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. Like Wegovy, it helps you lose weight by reducing your appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. Instead of mimicking 1 hormone, tirzepatide mimics 2 hormones, which is thought to enhance appetite suppression. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise, Mounjaro can lead to patients losing up to 22.5% of their starting weight (after 72 weeks of treatment on a maintenance dose of 15mg). Like Wegovy, Mounjaro is a weekly injection. Liraglutide Liraglutide is a generic weight loss injection of Saxenda, which is currently long-term out of stock. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide, which is in the same family of medications as Wegovy (semaglutide). It helps you lose weight by suppressing your appetite and reducing the amount of food you need to eat to feel full. Over 56 weeks, the average weight loss on the maintenance dose (3mg) of liraglutide is 8%. While Wegovy is a weekly injection, you need to inject liraglutide every day.Weight loss tablets
Orlistat (Xenical) Orlistat and Xenical are weight loss tablets that reduce the amount of dietary fat absorbed by your body when you eat food. This excess fat is instead passed through the body as stool waste. You can take them up to 3 times a day, with meals containing fat. Orlistat is the unbranded (generic) version of Xenical. alli alli is a lower-dose version of orlistat that is available over the counter, which means you don’t need a doctor’s prescription to get it. It works in the same way as orlistat, by reducing the amount of fat absorbed from food you eat. A pharmacist or online doctor will still need to check your suitability before you can buy it. Mysimba Mysimba is a weight loss tablet that works like Wegovy on areas of your brain responsible for appetite helping you lose weight by suppressing your hunger levels. This may be a good alternative for people who want a medication that works like Wegovy but don’t want to take an injection.What is the difference between Wegovy and Mounjaro?
The difference between Wegovy and Mounjaro is the active ingredient. Wegovy contains semaglutide while Mounjaro contains tirzepatide. They still belong to the same medication group and so have a similar effect on appetite and fullness levels. Further differences between Wegovy and Mounjaro are highlighted in the table:| Wegovy (mg) | Mounjaro | |
| Doses (in mg) | 5 doses:
|
6 doses:
|
| How long it takes to reach the maintenance dose | At least 16 weeks | At least 20 weeks |
| Effectiveness (% of starting body weight lost) | An average of 17% on the 2.4mg dose over 68 weeks | An average of 22.5% on the 15mg dose over 72 weeks |
| Manufacturer | Novo Nordisk | Eli Lilly |
What is the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic?
The difference between Wegovy and Ozempic is what the medication is approved for. Wegovy is a weight loss injection while Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes treatment. Although they both contain semaglutide, they come in different doses because they are used for different reasons. As well as helping with appetite, semaglutide can regulate blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic comes in a maximum dose of 2mg, and your doctor will only prescribe this dose if lower doses are not working well enough for blood sugar control. Ozempic is rarely prescribed off-label for weight loss, as Wegovy and other alternatives are available. These work much better as their dosage schedule has been created specifically with weight loss in mind.FAQs
