Overview

Wegovy is one of the most trusted and clinically proven weight loss injections available today. Powered by semaglutide - the same ingredient found in Ozempic — Wegovy works by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and helping you feel fuller for longer. This makes it far easier to manage cravings, cut calories, and stay on track with your weight loss goals.

In clinical studies, patients using Wegovy lost an average of 10–15% of their body weight, with many also reporting better energy, improved health, and greater confidence in daily life. Unlike daily treatments such as Saxenda, Wegovy is taken just once a week with a simple pre-filled pen, making it convenient and easy to fit into your routine.

For patients seeking a clinically proven, more cost-accessible alternative to newer treatments like Mounjaro, Wegovy offers the perfect balance of effectiveness, safety, and convenience.

Available from SwiftMedi following a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, your treatment will be dispensed from our UK-regulated pharmacy and delivered quickly and discreetly to your door.

Description

Administration: Wegovy is injected once a week under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).


Dosing schedule: Treatment starts with a lower dose, which is gradually increased over several months to the full maintenance dose.


Ease of use: Pre-filled pens are designed for safe and simple self-administration at home.


Duration: Wegovy is intended for long-term use alongside lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss results.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Wegovy can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most are mild, temporary, and improve as your body adjusts.

  • Nausea or feeling sick
  • Diarrhoea or constipation
  • Reduced appetite
  • Indigestion or bloating


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Abdominal pain
  • Fatigue

  • Signs of allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)


Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine for full details. If you notice anything unusual or concerning, stop taking Wegovy and seek medical advice promptly. In an emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.

  • Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
  • Have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have severe gastrointestinal disease or pancreatitis


Always complete your consultation truthfully so your prescriber can ensure treatment is safe for you.

FAQ's

How much weight can I lose with Wegovy?
Most people achieve 10–15% weight loss over time when Wegovy is combined with diet and lifestyle changes.

How long does Wegovy take to work?
Many patients notice appetite changes within the first few weeks, with visible weight loss developing gradually over 2–3 months.

Is Wegovy the same as Ozempic?
Wegovy and Ozempic both contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is licensed specifically for weight loss at higher doses, while Ozempic is licensed for type 2 diabetes.

How long will I need to take Wegovy?
Obesity is a long-term condition. Most patients require ongoing treatment to maintain results, alongside healthy lifestyle changes.

Is Wegovy cheaper than Mounjaro?
Yes. Both are effective treatments, but Wegovy is often more affordable, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking powerful results at a lower cost.

Is Wegovy better than Mounjaro?
Both are highly effective treatments. Clinical studies suggest Mounjaro may lead to greater average weight loss, but Wegovy remains an excellent, clinically proven option that is more widely available and often more cost-accessible. The right choice depends on your health needs, goals, and budget — your prescriber will help decide which treatment is most suitable.

How do I order Wegovy online?
Simply complete our quick online consultation. A UK-registered prescriber will assess your suitability, and if approved, your treatment will be dispensed from our UK-regulated pharmacy and delivered discreetly — often the next day.

Do I need to change my diet while using Wegovy?
Yes. Wegovy works best alongside a balanced, reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. Most patients find it easier to stick to smaller portions and healthier food choices because Wegovy reduces appetite and cravings.

What happens if I miss a dose of Wegovy?
If you miss your scheduled dose, take it as soon as you remember (within 5 days). If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and continue with your next injection as normal. Never take two doses at once.

Can I switch from Saxenda to Wegovy?
Yes, many patients move from Saxenda (a daily injection) to Wegovy (a weekly injection) for convenience and potentially stronger results. This transition should always be guided by a prescriber to ensure it is safe and effective.

Is Wegovy safe for long-term use?
Yes. Wegovy has been studied in long-term clinical trials and shown to be both safe and effective when used continuously. Regular medical reviews help ensure it remains suitable for you.
