Has anyone else pre-ordered Wegovy pills?

Got mine on preorder…. I’m excited and a little apprehensive… have two stone to lose.

I prefer the injections. GLP1s inhibit the absorption of some of my medication so surely it will affect the absorption of these pills.

The clinical trials for efficacy should have established the effective dosing for the pill formulation as compared with the injection formulation.

that has no relevance though?

we are discussing preorder of the pills, those of us who have or are considering it have already decided against the injections.

you can usually work around oral absorption by taking medications at different times.

I had good results with injections (MJ) and have broadly maintained my weight since hitting BMI 26 last August. However a few pounds have crept on since Easter and the food noise is annoying.

Towards the end of my time on MJ last summer I disliked injecting. It was weird because I’m not squeamish and I’m unafraid of needles - I just developed a psychological aversion to the injections, felt a bit sick just before administering them.

So I’m definitely thinking of ordering these pills.

Yes, I’ve seen a few people pre-ordering them as they roll out, especially with providers offering early access or waitlists. It’ll be interesting to see how availability and pricing look once they fully launch. I use Wegovy, and it’s been helpful having support while navigating new options like this.

I’ve just switched from Mounjaro to the Wegovy pills. Mainly due to the cost, and I like the idea of a tablet rather than injecting. I’ve never had an issue with the injections but used to dread it. I’m at goal weight so hoping to use them for maintenance. Was told I had to order the lowest dose and work up. £99 for a month’s supply.

I’m curious about them too, My online clinic said they’ll be offering the pill version as well. From what I’ve seen it’s meant to have a similar effect, just a different way of taking it.
