If you’re currently taking Mounjaro or Wegovy injections and would like to switch to the new daily Wegovy Pill (oral semaglutide), we can help. The new Wegovy Pill will be available in June 2026 and delivers similar weight loss results as the original injectable treatment, when used as prescribed.

For maximum effectiveness, the Wegovy Pill is taken every morning at the same time on an empty stomach with just a sip of water. After taking the tablet, wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food, drinks or other medicines. Like with the injections, the dose is usually increased every four weeks until you reach a maintenance dose.

We can help you move to the most appropriate Wegovy Pill dose depending on your medical history, current treatment plan and experience with GLP-1 side effects. You won’t need to start again or take any breaks, but ultimately which dose is best for you will be a decision between you and your clinician.
