Can I take the Wegovy pill with food?

No, the Wegovy pill should not be taken with food. It should be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, with water only. After taking it, wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything other than water, or taking other oral medicines.

Taking it with food, or eating too soon afterwards, can reduce how much semaglutide your body absorbs and may make the treatment less effective.

Key points:

• Take the Wegovy pill in the morning on an empty stomach.
• Swallow it whole with water only, up to 120ml.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before food, other drinks or oral medicines.
• Do not split, crush, chew or dissolve the tablet.
