Description

The Wegovy pill is a once-daily tablet containing semaglutide, the same active ingredient used in Wegovy injections. It is the first GLP-1 weight-loss treatment available in tablet form, offering a convenient alternative to injections.

Note: Wegovy pills may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30+ or 27–30 with related health conditions after medical review. Not suitable if allergic to semaglutide, and must be prescribed following clinician assessment.

Mechanism of action:

Semaglutide is a GLP-1. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that selectively binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, the target for native GLP-1.

GLP-1 is a physiological regulator of appetite and calorie intake, and the GLP-1 receptor is present in several areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation.

Semaglutide has direct effects on areas in the brain involved in homeostatic regulation of food intake in the hypothalamus and the brainstem, and direct and indirect effects on areas involved in hedonic regulation of food intake, including the septum, thalamus and amygdala.

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
