Superdrug Online Doctor started selling Wegovy weight loss tablets in the UK this month, after the medication received government approval in June 2026. Wegovy is a pill form of semaglutide, a drug that reduces appetite and slows down digestion. Until now, semaglutide was only available as an injection through the NHS for certain patients.
New customers can buy the starting dose for £79, reduced from the standard price of £99 using a discount code. Before receiving the medication, patients must fill in a medical questionnaire and send photos so a doctor can check they are suitable. The pill is taken once a day on an empty stomach, and people must wait thirty minutes before eating or taking other medicines. Orders can be collected from a Superdrug pharmacy or delivered to the home.
