Frequently asked questions

Start Your Consultation
How much weight can you lose with weight loss treatments?

The amount of weight you may lose varies from person to person and depends on factors including the treatment, dose, how your body responds, and the lifestyle changes you make. Your prescriber will discuss realistic expectations with you and review your progress throughout treatment.

What’s the difference between the Wegovy® pill and the injections?

The Wegovy® pill is a once-daily tablet containing semaglutide — the same active ingredient as the Wegovy® injection — so it works in the same way, reducing appetite and helping you feel fuller for longer. The main difference is how you take it: a small daily tablet with no needles, instead of a weekly injection. Your prescriber will help you choose the option that fits your health and routine.

How do I take the Wegovy® pill?

Take one tablet once a day on an empty stomach when you wake up, with up to half a glass (120 ml) of water. Swallow it whole — don’t split, crush or chew it — and wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything other than water, or taking other oral medicines. If you miss a dose, skip it and take your next dose the following day.

Can I switch from injections to the pill?

In many cases, yes — switching between the injection and the daily tablet is possible with prescriber guidance. The doses don’t map one-to-one, so your prescriber will confirm the right starting dose for you. Start a consultation and our clinical team will guide you through it.

Do I need to follow a strict diet?

No crash diets required—but we recommend combining treatment with healthy eating habits and regular movement to maximise results.

Is this a long-term solution?

Weight loss treatments — both the injections and the daily tablet — are safe for long-term use under medical supervision. Your prescriber will help you decide how long to continue based on your progress.

Do you offer maintenance?

Yes, at PillSorted, our clinical team takes a personalised approach to long-term maintenance. There’s no fixed time limit on maintenance—it can even be lifelong, depending on your needs and health condition. For treatments like Mounjaro® or Wegovy® — whether you’re on the injection or the daily tablet — a maintenance dose is often possible, but it requires careful monitoring to ensure it remains effective and safe for you.

How do I know if I’m eligible?

Our online consultation assesses your health, BMI, and medical history. If a particular treatment isn’t right for you, we may recommend alternatives — including choosing between the injection and the daily tablet.

Your dedicated prescriber is with you from day one — your treatment, your challenges, your wins.
