How should I take Wegovy pill each morning?
Short answer
Take Wegovy pill exactly as your prescribing physician and prescription label direct. This page lists one tablet each morning on an empty stomach. Confirm the required amount of water and waiting time before food, drinks, or other medicines with your pharmacist. Do not guess or borrow another product’s instructions.
Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the label supplied with your Wegovy pill. This page lists one tablet each morning on an empty stomach, but that is not a complete set of instructions. Your medication guide should explain how to take the tablet and what to avoid around the dose.
Oral semaglutide has specific rules for water and the time before eating, drinking, or taking other oral medicines. These rules affect how much medicine your body absorbs. Ask your pharmacist to confirm the exact water amount and waiting period for your prescribed product. Also check whether the tablet must be swallowed whole. Do not crush, chew, or split it unless the label allows it.
If you take other morning medicines, ask your pharmacist to help plan a schedule. Do not delay an important medicine on your own. If you eat before taking your tablet or take it incorrectly, ask for advice rather than taking an extra tablet.
