What are oral GLP-1 tablets?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are prescription medicines used in weight management. Some GLP-1 medicines are currently available as injections following assessment by a clinician.
Oral GLP-1 tablets are tablet formulations being developed and studied for weight management. These medicines work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which can help regulate appetite and food intake.
Treatment suitability, availability and prescribing decisions are determined by a clinician following an appropriate consultation.
What are they?
- Tablet-based weight loss treatments
- Contain a GLP-1 receptor agonist (the same active ingredient as Wegovy)
- Taken once daily, rather than once weekly by injection
- Clinically tested with results comparable to injectable options
Why are people interested?
- A non-injectable alternative for those who prefer not to use a pen
- Easier to fit into everyday life for some people
- No refrigeration or injection equipment required
- The same clinically-led approach, in a simpler format
Tablets vs injections: which is right for you?
Oral GLP-1 tablets and injectable GLP-1 treatments are both effective, clinically-proven options. The right choice depends on your personal preferences and circumstances. Here is a quick comparison:
* Averages from clinical trials in controlled settings alongside diet and lifestyle support. Individual results will vary.
* The two trials used different designs and durations and cannot be directly compared with each other.
* Both treatments are not yet available in the UK. Availability is subject to regulatory approval. Both expected in 2026.

GLP‑1 tablets are prescription medicines that mimic a natural hormone involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. They are used to support weight management in eligible adults as part of a wider treatment plan that includes diet and lifestyle changes
These medicines work by helping you feel fuller for longer, reducing hunger and slowing stomach emptying. This can help lower calorie intake over time.
They work in a similar way to injectable GLP‑1 treatments, but they are taken as a tablet instead of an injection. The active ingredient and dosing schedule may differ depending on the specific medicine prescribed.
GLP‑1 tablets are not suitable for everyone. A clinician will assess factors such as your BMI, medical history, current medications and any weight-related health conditions before prescribing treatment.
Most oral GLP‑1 tablets are taken once daily on an empty stomach with a small amount of water. You usually need to wait before eating, drinking or taking other medicines. Always follow the instructions provided with your prescription.
The most common side effects are digestive and may include nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting or stomach discomfort. These are often mild and may improve as your body adjusts to treatment.
GLP‑1 tablets have been evaluated by medicines regulators and are prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals. Like all medicines, they carry potential risks and side effects, so they should only be used under medical supervision.
Possibly, but some medicines can interact with GLP‑1 treatments. Your prescriber will review your current medications and advise whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Yes. GLP‑1 tablets are most effective when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet, regular physical activity and sustainable lifestyle habits.
Follow the instructions in your patient leaflet or ask your prescriber for advice. Do not take a double dose unless specifically instructed to do so.
Only use regulated UK pharmacies like 123 Meds that require a medical assessment before prescribing. Avoid unregulated sellers or social media offers.
