Ingredients & Composition
The Wegovy Pill contains semaglutide as the active ingredient — a GLP-1 receptor agonist that supports appetite regulation and clinically proven weight loss.
Active Ingredient
Semaglutide — available as 1.5 mg, 4 mg, 9 mg, and 25 mg tablets.
Absorption Enhancer
The tablet contains an absorption-enhancing agent that protects semaglutide from stomach acid and enables it to be absorbed through the stomach lining. This is why the tablet must be taken on an empty stomach with a small amount of plain water. Full inactive ingredient information will be published when UK prescribing information is confirmed at launch.
Common Side Effects of Wegovy Pill
Side effects with oral semaglutide are expected to be similar to other semaglutide medicines. They are often dose-related and tend to settle as your body adjusts — which is why the dose is increased gradually.
Common Side Effects
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Stomach pain, indigestion, bloating and reflux
- Reduced appetite
- Headache
- Fatigue
Serious Side Effects
(Rare but Important)
- Pancreatitis — severe and persistent stomach pain, with or without vomiting
- Gallbladder problems — gallstones, sometimes linked to rapid weight loss
- Dehydration — dizziness, fainting, very dark urine, or not passing urine
- Severe allergic reaction — swelling of the face or throat, wheezing, or severe rash
- Low blood sugar — mainly if used with insulin or a sulfonylurea in people with diabetes
If you experience any severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention. In the OASIS 4 trial, approximately 7% of participants stopped treatment due to side effects — similar to rates seen with the Wegovy injection.
Do Not Use If:
- You are allergic to semaglutide or any ingredients in the product
- You are pregnant or think you may be pregnant
