Buy Wegovy Injection Online - UK Weight Loss Injection
Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that has been clinically proven to support weight loss. The active ingredient, semaglutide, works by copying your natural hormones responsible for controlling hunger. Because it mimics the hormones that regulate appetite, it can help you feel fuller for longer and less hungry, making you less likely to overeat.
You inject yourself once a week using the prefilled FlexTouch pen. You’ll be recommended to start at the lowest dose of 0.25mg, and your clinician will slowly increase the dose to the maximum of 2.4mg. This helps to minimise side effects as your body adjusts to the medication while also supporting your weight loss goals.
Wegovy is designed to support your weight loss efforts rather than replace them, so it works best when you use it alongside a calorie-controlled diet and more physical activity. With this optimised approach, you can lose weight and keep the weight off long-term.
This treatment requires an online consultation for review by our medical team. The decision to supply the specific treatment and quantity requested will be based on whether our medical team are satisfied that it will be safe, appropriate, and effective.
About Wegovy
Wegovy is a prescription-only weight loss injection containing semaglutide. It’s made to help adults with obesity. It also helps adults who are overweight and have weight-related health problems, like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
Clinical studies have shown that if you use Wegovy alongside regular exercise and a healthy diet, you could see significant weight loss. Many people keep the weight off while they continue treatment.
How Does Wegovy Work?
The active ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide. This acts like a hormone your body produces after you eat, called GLP-1. GLP-1 works in the area of your brain that regulates appetite, and lets it know when it’s full. By mimicking this hormone, Wegovy can trick your body into thinking that you’re full and don’t need to eat. Convincing your body that you’re no longer hungry can stop you from unnecessary snacking or eating too much during your main meals. This could help you consume fewer calories and control your weight.
Wegovy may also help to reduce your food cravings, especially for high-fat foods. This can help you make healthier choices with the foods you eat and support weight control.
How To Use Wegovy
Wegovy comes in an easy-to-use FlexTouch Pen. You inject yourself once a week just under the skin (subcutaneously) into fatty areas of the body like your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You should always rotate injection sites to minimise the risk of irritation. Rotating two or three different sites can help prevent this.
You’ll start with a four-week course of the lowest, 0.25mg strength, before increasing through 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg, then finally getting to the maximum strength of 2.4mg. You take each dose for four weeks before increasing, so your body has time to get used to the medicine.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide, which helps to support weight loss by reducing your appetite. The other ingredients are inactive, and include disodium phosphate dihydrate, propylene glycol, phenol, sodium hydroxide/hydrochloric acid and water for injection. The inactive ingredients work together to ensure the injection is safe to use each week.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Wegovy can cause side effects. The main side effects you could experience on Wegovy include nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue or indigestion. You may only experience some of these, or you may experience none at all.
If you do get side effects, they’re likely to be mild to moderate, and typically stop happening as your body gets used to the medication. The reason you start with a low dose of Wegovy is so that your body has longer to adjust to the medication, which can help to minimise the chance of side effects.
You should speak to your healthcare team before using Wegovy if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to semaglutide. You should also use contraception when taking Wegovy, as it shouldn’t be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you plan to become pregnant, you should discontinue use at least two months in advance.
Serious side effects of Wegovy include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. If you experience symptoms of any of those conditions, speak to your healthcare team as soon as possible.

What Is Wegovy And How Does It Work?
Wegovy is a weight loss medication that’s taken as a weekly injection. It acts on areas of the brain that are involved in regulating your appetite. Research has shown that taking Wegovy could help to make you feel fuller for longer. It may also reduce feelings of hunger and make fatty foods less tempting.
Wegovy works by mimicking a hormone (known as GLP-1) that’s naturally released by the body when you eat. The hormone triggers a receptor in the brain that tells your body you’re full.
By triggering the same receptor in the brain as the GLP-1 hormone, Wegovy could help you to eat less and consume fewer calories – something that’s important for weight loss success.
Yes, you can buy Wegovy in the UK, but only if you have a valid prescription for the medication.
If you meet the strict eligibility criteria set by the NHS, you can get a prescription for Wegovy from your GP. If you don’t meet these criteria, you may still be able to get a prescription for Wegovy privately by completing a consultation with a registered and licensed online pharmacy.
Do I Need A Prescription For Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription-only medication. So, whether you go through the NHS or opt for private treatment, you’ll need a prescription before you can access the medication.
In order to get a prescription for Wegovy, you’ll need to speak to your GP or complete a quick online consultation with a medical professional such as our licensed clinicians. They’ll take your health, lifestyle and other factors into account to find the most suitable weight loss treatment for you.
How Much Weight Could I Lose With Wegovy?
The amount of weight you’ll lose with Wegovy will depend on your starting weight, and how much you improve your diet and activity levels. Research has shown that people who take Wegovy, and make significant lifestyle changes, could lose around 16% of their starting body weight after 68 weeks.
Most of this weight loss is likely to occur within the first 32 weeks. Your rate of weight loss may then begin to slow. However, if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stick to your Wegovy treatment schedule, you may continue to see weight loss after this initial period.
Who Can Take Wegovy?
Wegovy is designed for people who are overweight or obese. If you want to get Wegovy through your GP, you’ll need a BMI of 27 or higher (classed as overweight) and to have been diagnosed with heart or circulatory disease.
If you don’t meet these criteria, you may still be able to access Wegovy privately by completing an online consultation.
Wegovy is not suitable for children aged 12 or under, or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should also avoid Wegovy if you’ve had an allergic reaction to similar medications in the past.
Is Wegovy Addictive?
There is currently no research showing that Wegovy is addictive. In fact, some early studies indicate that the medication may be a possible treatment for people with addiction problems.
However, while Wegovy isn’t known to be addictive, you may need to stay on the medication long term. This is because Wegovy helps to control your appetite and stopping the medication could cause you to eat more and re-gain the weight you’ve worked so hard to lose.
Does Wegovy Have Side Effects?
Wegovy, like most medications, does have some potential side effects. The most common are:
nausea
diarrhoea
vomiting
constipation
stomach pain
headache
tiredness
upset stomach
dizziness
feeling bloated
burping or flatulence (farting)
Most people who experience side effects find that their symptoms are mild and begin to ease as their bodies adjust to the medication. And remember that no two people will experience side effects in exactly the same way.
