Semaglutide prescribed by a clinician, dispensed by a GPhC-registered pharmacist. Free eligibility check, no GP referral needed. From £32/week.
Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide 2.4mg, a once-weekly injection approved for weight management. It belongs to a class of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking a hormone your body naturally produces after eating.
The result is reduced appetite, slower gastric emptying, and greater satisfaction from smaller meals. You feel less hungry and more in control of your eating throughout the day.
In the landmark STEP clinical trials, participants using Wegovy alongside diet and exercise lost between 15% and 17% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Wegovy is approved by both the MHRA (UK) and the FDA (US) for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 and above with at least one weight-related health condition.
Your dose increases gradually over five months. This stepped approach helps your body adjust and keeps side effects to a minimum.

Common questions about getting Wegovy in Manchester.
In the STEP clinical trials, participants lost between 15% and 17% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Individual results depend on your starting weight, diet, activity level, and how consistently you use the medication. Most people notice meaningful changes within the first three months.
The most frequently reported side effects are nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, and reduced appetite. These are usually mild and tend to ease as your body adjusts over the first few weeks. The gradual dose escalation schedule is specifically designed to minimise these effects. Your pharmacist can advise on managing any discomfort.
NHS availability for Wegovy is currently limited and subject to long waiting lists through specialist weight management services. As a private GPhC-registered pharmacy, we can prescribe Wegovy after a clinician review, giving you faster access without the wait. You do not need a GP referral to start.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Clinical trials suggest Mounjaro may produce slightly greater average weight loss (up to 22.5% vs 15-17%). Both are weekly injections. Your clinician will help you choose the best option for your situation. Read our full Mounjaro vs Wegovy comparison.
