The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Wegovy pill, a new oral weight loss medicine. Wegovy contains semaglutide, the same active ingredient used in popular weight loss injections. This pill is the first daily oral GLP-1 weight loss drug approved in the United States. It gives adults with obesity or overweight a simple option to help them reduce weight.
Clinical trials show that people taking the Wegovy pill lost a significant amount of weight over time. The pill also helped lower the risk of serious health problems like heart disease when taken with diet and exercise. Unlike injections, the pill is easier to take and may increase access to effective weight loss treatments.
This approval marks a major milestone in obesity treatment and could change how patients approach weight loss. Many doctors say the convenience of a pill will appeal to people who avoid injections or struggle with needle fear. The Wegovy pill is expected to reach the US market soon and could expand options for those fighting obesity and related health issues.
