Doses & pricing
Starting low, then stepping up steadily
Wegovy pill treatment begins on a low dose so your body can adjust before moving higher. Your clinician will guide you through each step based on how you're getting on.
- 1.5mg£129
A gentle start
This dose introduces your body to treatment with the lowest possible impact. It's about building tolerance before increasing further.
- 4mg£139
The next step up
Once you've settled on the starting dose, your prescriber will typically move you up to 4mg. Most people continue to manage well at this stage.
- 9mg£169
Building towards maintenance
This dose sits between the early stages and the maximum, giving your body more time to adjust. Many people notice continued changes in appetite here.
- 25mg£219
The maximum daily dose
This is the highest strength available and is where most people stay for ongoing treatment. Not everyone needs to reach this dose to see results.
There's no need to rush to the top dose
Some people get on well and see good results on a lower dose than the maximum. If that's you, your clinician may keep you there rather than pushing you up further.
Your price includes your prescription, clinical review by our Bletchley team, and discreet delivery to your Milton Keynes address.
How it works
How the Wegovy pill works in the body
The Wegovy pill contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 medicine taken as a once-daily tablet rather than a weekly injection. It works with your body's own appetite hormones to help you feel fuller for longer, so it's easier to eat less without constant hunger. It's prescribed alongside healthy eating and regular activity, and only after a clinician at Kenmakos Medical has confirmed it's suitable for you.
Reduces appetite
Signals to your brain that you're satisfied, so smaller portions feel like enough.
Slows digestion
Food leaves your stomach more slowly, helping fullness last between meals.
Eases food cravings
Many people notice fewer urges to snack once the medicine takes effect.
Supports steadier blood sugar
Helps smooth post-meal blood sugar levels, which can reduce energy dips and hunger spikes.
The Wegovy pill may be right for you if
- You're an adult with a BMI in the range that qualifies for weight management treatment, or a lower BMI with a relevant weight-related health condition
- You've tried to lose weight through diet and activity and want additional support
- You're prepared to attend regular reviews with our clinical team in Bletchley, Milton Keynes or online
- You don't have a personal or family history that rules out GLP-1 treatment
Not suitable if
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- You have a personal or family history of certain thyroid cancers or MEN2 syndrome
- You have a history of pancreatitis or severe digestive conditions
- You are already using another GLP-1 or weight-loss medicine
This list isn't exhaustive, and our pharmacist team will review your full medical history before any prescription is approved.

What is the Wegovy pill and who is it for?
The Wegovy pill is a once-daily oral tablet containing semaglutide, offering an alternative to the weekly Wegovy injection for adults managing their weight.
At Kenmakos Medical in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, we know that not everyone wants or is able to use an injectable medicine. The Wegovy pill uses a special absorption technology that allows semaglutide to be taken as a tablet rather than injected, while working on the same appetite and fullness pathways in the body.
It is intended for adults who meet the clinical criteria for weight management support, usually alongside a higher body weight and related health considerations. Because it is a prescription-only medicine, it is only suitable following a full assessment with one of our pharmacist prescribers, who will check your medical history, current medications and any conditions that might affect suitability.
We support patients from across Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas, offering a straightforward online consultation followed by collection or delivery, so you do not need to travel far to get started.
Taking the Wegovy pill safely
Wegovy is prescribed at a strength and dose chosen for you by our clinical team, starting at 1.5mg and moving up gradually as your body adjusts.
Our range covers 1.5mg (£129), 4mg (£139), 9mg (£169) and 25mg (£219), with your prescriber deciding which strength is appropriate for you based on how you respond to treatment and any side effects experienced.
As with any prescription-only medicine, safe use depends on following the guidance given by your prescriber, taking the tablet as instructed, and telling us promptly if you experience side effects or feel unwell. Common effects can include nausea, digestive upset or changes in appetite, particularly when starting or increasing your dose.
You should never share this medicine with anyone else, and you should always disclose your full medical history, including any thyroid conditions, pancreatitis history or pregnancy plans, so we can confirm the treatment remains appropriate for you throughout your journey.
Take your tablet at roughly the same time each day, on an empty stomach with a small sip of water, and wait before eating or drinking anything else, to help your body absorb it properly.
Eating and lifestyle alongside the Wegovy pill
Wegovy works best as part of a wider approach to eating well and staying active, rather than as a stand-alone solution.
Because the medicine slows digestion and reduces appetite, many people find that smaller, more balanced meals feel more comfortable than large or rich ones. Eating slowly, choosing plenty of vegetables, lean protein and wholegrains, and staying well hydrated can all help reduce digestive discomfort.
Alcohol and very fatty or greasy foods can sometimes worsen nausea, so many patients find it helpful to moderate these while adjusting to treatment. Gentle regular movement, such as walking, alongside any exercise you already enjoy, tends to support results and general wellbeing.
Our team can offer practical, personalised advice on eating patterns and activity levels during your consultation and follow-up reviews, tailored to your goals and any other health conditions you may have.
Tracking your progress at reviews
Regular check-ins with our clinical team allow us to monitor how you are responding to Wegovy and adjust your plan where needed.
During reviews, we typically discuss your weight and any measurements you wish to track, how you are managing any side effects, and whether your current dose still feels right for you. This is also an opportunity to raise any concerns, ask questions about diet or exercise, and confirm your ongoing suitability for treatment.
Because everyone responds differently, reviews are not simply about numbers on a scale. We look at your overall wellbeing, energy levels and how sustainable the changes you are making feel, so that treatment continues to support your long-term health rather than becoming a short-term fix.
Patients across Milton Keynes can book these reviews conveniently online or in person at Kenmakos Medical, keeping the process simple as your treatment progresses.
Coming off the Wegovy pill
Stopping Wegovy is a decision best made together with your prescriber, whether you have reached your goals or need to pause treatment for another reason.
Some people choose to come off treatment once they have reached a stable, healthy weight and feel confident maintaining it through diet and lifestyle alone. Others may need to stop for medical reasons, such as planning a pregnancy or developing a condition that makes continued use unsuitable.
It is worth discussing with your prescriber how your appetite and eating patterns may change once you stop, so you can plan ahead and maintain the healthy habits built up during treatment. Coming off gradually, with support from our clinical team, tends to feel more manageable than stopping abruptly.
If you are considering stopping or have any concerns about continuing, please get in touch with the Kenmakos Medical team in Bletchley so we can talk through your options and make sure any changes are made safely.
Deciding between treatments
Not sure whether a pill or an injection suits you better
The Wegovy pill offers a daily tablet routine for people who prefer to avoid injections, while the Wegovy injection is taken weekly and uses a different dosing range. Both contain semaglutide, and other options such as Mounjaro use a different active ingredient entirely. Our Bletchley clinical team can talk through the differences with you and help you decide which fits your lifestyle and goals.

FAQs
How quickly will I see results with the Wegovy pill?

Do I need a prescription to get the Wegovy pill?
Yes, the Wegovy pill is a prescription-only medicine.
