Wegovy® is a once-weekly injection that you give yourself. It is taken on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food.

Wegovy® comes in 5 different doses: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg. Each dose comes in a pen of a different color.

It’s recommended that you use Wegovy® pen on the same day every week, at a time that is most convenient for you. If you need to change the day of the week, you may do so as long as your last dose of Wegovy® was given 2 or
more days before.

It’s important to properly dispose of your used Wegovy® pens. After injecting your dose, do not throw away the pen in your household trash or recycling bin. Instead, use one of the following:

Only use Wegovy® pen if the liquid is clear and colorless as seen through the pen window. If it is not clear, contact our Patient Customer Care Center at 1-833-934-6891 for a replacement.

Take your Wegovy® pill on an empty stomach in the morning with water (up to 4 ounces). Wait at least 30 minutes after taking before having any food, drinking beverages, or taking other oral medications. It is also important that the pill be swallowed whole.

If you miss a daily dose of Wegovy® pill, skip that day’s dose and get back on track by taking the scheduled dose the next day.

SNAC (salcaprozate sodium) is included in every Wegovy® pill. It allows the medicine to be taken by mouth once daily because it helps the medicine survive in the stomach long enough to be absorbed into your bloodstream. Technically, SNAC protects the medicine from acid and enzymes in the stomach and temporarily increases local absorption through the stomach lining so the medicine can reach the circulation when taken by mouth.

Without SNAC, almost none of the medicine would be absorbed from the pill so there would be no treatment effect.
