Wegovy, a weight-loss medicine previously available as an injection, is now sold as a pill in the UK. Multiple reports say the once-daily tablet is being offered by pharmacies on a private basis, rather than through standard NHS prescribing, and it is marketed as coming from the same manufacturer as the Wegovy injections. Coverage from BBC Health and BBC News describes the pill as a new option for people seeking weight-loss treatment and frames the change as a new route to access Wegovy in the UK market. The Daily Record similarly reports that the tablet “lands” in the UK and focuses on practical details for potential users, including how it is taken, the kinds of side effects people may experience, and the likely cost. Taken together, the articles indicate that the main update is the shift from an injectable formulation to an orally administered version that is purchasable privately via UK pharmacies, with guidance for consumers on use and tolerability. Specific pricing and side-effect profiles are described in the outlets that provide consumer-facing detail, while both BBC reports emphasise what patients need to know about the product’s availability and administration.
