What Is the Wegovy Pill?
A once-daily oral GLP-1 medication for weight management — the same active ingredient as injectable Wegovy, in a convenient tablet.
Same Science, No Needle
Contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient as injectable Wegovy. Formulated with SNAC technology — a protective molecule that shields the medication through your stomach for effective oral absorption.
Appetite Regulation
Mimics GLP-1, a naturally-occurring hormone released after eating. Signals fullness, reduces hunger, and helps you make informed decisions about food.
Slows Gastric Emptying
Delays how quickly food moves through your stomach, keeping you fuller for longer and encouraging smaller portion sizes naturally.
Targets Stored Fat
Helps your body burn fat more efficiently by targeting stored fat rather than muscle, supporting sustainable, healthy weight loss.
How to Take It
Morning, Empty Stomach
Take once daily first thing in the morning before eating or drinking.
Small Sip of Water
Swallow whole with up to 120ml of plain water only. Do not crush or chew.
Wait 30 Minutes
Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking other medications.
No Refrigeration
Store at room temperature below 30°C. No fridge needed — easy for travel and everyday life.
