The FDA approved Novo Nordisk’s oral Wegovy pill for obesity, launching in January 2026 with 13.6% average weight loss.
The FDA has approved Novo Nordisk’s oral version of Wegovy, the first pill-based treatment for obesity, containing semaglutide.
It will launch in early January 2026, available directly to U.S. cash-paying patients through retail pharmacies, online platforms, and telehealth providers.
The pill, taken once daily on an empty stomach with a 30-minute wait before eating, showed average 13.6% body weight loss in trials—comparable to the injectable form.
Priced at $149 per month for some providers, it aims to improve access for those avoiding injections due to needle phobia or cost.
The move comes amid competition with Eli Lilly’s oral drug, which is still under review.
