Wegovy is Novo Nordisk's brand-name semaglutide for chronic weight management. It launched as a once-weekly injection, and in December 2025 the FDA approved an oral Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide) for chronic weight management, the first semaglutide pill cleared specifically for weight loss. When people search for "Wegovy pills," this FDA-approved oral semaglutide is what they mean.
Alongside the branded, FDA-approved Wegovy pill, licensed telehealth pharmacies also offer compounded oral semaglutide, and Rybelsus (oral semaglutide approved for type 2 diabetes) is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. All deliver semaglutide as a daily tablet, a needle-free alternative to injections.
Semaglutide mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a gut hormone released when you eat that slows digestion and helps you feel full. Taken daily alongside diet and exercise, oral semaglutide can help adults with obesity or overweight lose an average of 10–15% of their body weight.*
