Wegovy Weight Loss Pill Now Available Privately in UK

The once-daily Wegovy weight loss pill, containing semaglutide, is now available privately in the UK, though not yet on the NHS. It works similarly to the injectable version by mimicking a gut hormone to reduce appetite and increase fullness, requiring a BMI of 30+ or 27-30 with weight-related conditions. Strict guidelines apply for taking the pill on an empty stomach, and costs range from £99 to £199 per month.
