Can I import the Wegovy pill from the USA to the UK?
Importing the Wegovy pill from the USA to the UK is legally permitted for personal use, but mailing it is highly restricted. Under UK law, individuals have a right to personally import medicines, even if they are not yet launched in the UK market. However, unless you physically travel to collect it, online orders shipped via mail face a massive risk of border seizure.
Key points:
- Personal imports are legal under strict conditions (max 3-month supply).
- Wegovy pills shipped from overseas will likely be seized.
- You may bring the medication with you if you are travelling to the UK.
