Can I take the Wegovy pill with coffee or tea?

No, you should not take the Wegovy pill with coffee or tea. It should be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, with water only.

After taking the tablet, wait at least 30 minutes before drinking coffee, tea or any other drink apart from water. Drinking coffee or tea too soon may reduce how much semaglutide your body absorbs and could make the treatment less effective.

Key points:

• Take the Wegovy pill with water only.
• Do not take it with coffee, tea, juice or milk.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before having coffee or tea.
• Following the timing instructions helps the medicine absorb properly.
