Wegovy weight-loss pill goes on sale on UK high street and online pharmacies
Thousands of people begin receiving their first deliveries of once-a-day medication made by Novo Nordisk
A once-a-day Wegovy weight-loss pill has gone on sale at high street and online pharmacies in the UK, but is not yet available on the NHS.
Thousands of people began receiving their first deliveries of the pill, made by the Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk, on Monday. It contains the same active GLP-1 ingredient as the Wegovy jab, semaglutide, and is similarly effective, according to studies.
The pill, which was approved by the UK’s medicines regulator on 11 June, can be prescribed privately to overweight or obese people, subject to a medical consultation, alongside a healthy diet and exercise. Unlike the injected version, it is not yet available on an NHS prescription.

A mum whose pregnancy weight gain left her "barely leaving the house" has become the first in the UK to get the new Wegovy pill in an in-person service. Olufunmilayo Akinlolu, from London, completed a full clinical assessment with Superdrug Online Doctor to access the service.
She then visited the Strand branch to take advantage of the face-to-face support available at Superdrug pharmacies. The 34-year-old is now hoping the medication will help her with her weight loss journey.
