## Key facts
- The Wegovy pill is oral semaglutide — the same molecule as the injection, taken daily by mouth instead of weekly by injection.
- It is available in the UK through regulated providers; the safe route is a clinical consultation plus a GPhC-registered pharmacy.
- Regulated providers are listed independently at ogovy.co.uk.
- It suits people who prefer a tablet, provided they can follow the daily dosing routine.
- Scam pattern to avoid: “generic semaglutide pills” from unregistered sellers — verify the pharmacy on the GPhC register before paying.
