**New Weight Loss Option Now Available in Pill Form**The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved a tablet version of the GLP-1 drug Wegovy, a prescription treatment for obesity and weight management. This new pill form offers a convenient alternative to injectable medications.
As part of its approval, Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy, is now offering a "starter dose" of 1.5 milligrams (mg) that can be purchased with a prescription at pharmacies and other facilities in the United States. Higher doses will be available by the end of this week.
Studies have shown that the Wegovy pill produced an average of 16% weight loss in people who took the medication over a 64-week period in a phase III clinical trial. This new option is expected to make it easier for individuals to adhere to a weight loss regimen, which still requires a healthy diet and regular exercise.
"We know there are people who are interested in addressing their weight but have been waiting on the sidelines for a medicine that was right for them," said Ed Cinca, senior vice president of marketing and patient solutions at Novo Nordisk. "For many of them, that wait is over as we can now offer the powerful efficacy of Wegovy in a once-daily pill."
Our team is here to help you explore this new option and determine if it's right for you. Contact us today to learn more about Wegovy and how it may be able to support your weight loss journey.
