The new pill for weight loss

what is it?

What is the Wegovy Pill?

The oral weight loss pill is a once-daily medication containing semaglutide – the same active ingredient found in the Wegovy weight loss injection. It is the first oral GLP-1 medication specifically approved by the MHRA, for use as an obesity treatment, receiving approval on 11 June 2026.

It works by mimicking a gut hormone that signals fullness to the brain, slowing digestion and significantly reducing appetite.

More than medication.

Most providers stop at the prescription. We don’t. 

At Streamline Weight Loss, oral medication is just one part of the support we offer. With over 20 years of experience in medical weight loss, we understand that successful treatment takes more than simply prescribing medication and sending you on your way.

When you choose Streamline, you get access to a team that looks at the bigger picture – your goals, your medical history, your progress, and the challenges that can come with losing weight. Our approach is designed to help you feel informed, supported and confident throughout your treatment, not left to figure things out alone.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

When will the oral tablet be available?

The oral weight loss tablet received MHRA approval on 11 June 2026. Stock will be made available by the manufacturer in early July 2026. Complete your online assessment and initial consultation with a specialist now and our team will contact you to arrange delivery as soon as stock arrives, you won’t need to chase us.

You may be eligible with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 or above alongside a weight-related health condition. Suitability is always confirmed at your 1:1 clinical consultation. Complete your assessment and we’ll take it from there.

Both use semaglutide and work through the same mechanism. The injection is given once weekly and has a slightly higher average weight loss in trial data (~19% vs ~17%). The tablet is taken once daily, requires no needle and no refrigeration, but does require a fasting routine. Your clinical team will help you decide which is best suited to your lifestyle and goals at your assessment.

Your assessment will be reviewed by our clinical team, who will confirm whether treatment is suitable for you. If appropriate, your dedicated patient advisor will contact you to arrange your initial consultation with a clinical specialist. Once stock becomes available in early July, we will send your starting dose via Royal Mail Tracked 28 delivery (signed), or by DPD Next Day if this has been requested by you through our patient support team.

If you’re starting for the first time, the 12-week programme gives you everything you need – medication, vitamins, dietitian access and structured clinical support from day one. Monthly treatment suits patients continuing after the starter programme or those wanting flexible ongoing access. Your clinical team will guide you at your assessment if you’re unsure.

Potentially yes – but this is assessed on an individual basis depending on your current dose, progress and goals. If you’re currently on the injection through Streamline or another provider, mention this when you complete your assessment or at your next clinical review and our team will advise.
