WegovySemaglutide · GLP-1 receptor agonist

Three lawful routes. The NHS, where access is restricted to specialist weight-management services and criteria are tight. A registered online pharmacy that assesses you first. Or a high street pharmacy against a private prescription from a prescriber who has assessed you.

Each of those routes puts an assessment in front of the supply, and that is what separates them from everything else. A website that will sell you Wegovy without assessing you is operating outside the law, and the contents of what arrives cannot be verified.

You can check a UK pharmacy before you buy. Registered pharmacies appear on the General Pharmaceutical Council register, and registered online pharmacies display the MHRA distance selling logo as a link back to the regulator. A logo that is only a picture is not a registration.

A clinical assessment first, covering medical history, current medication, height and weight, and any weight-related conditions. A prescriber then reviews it independently and decides whether Wegovy is appropriate.

Weight-management medicines are classed as high-risk, so the prescriber has to verify what you have reported rather than accept the form as submitted. That means a photograph, a video call, or contact with your GP. A provider that omits that step is not following the regulator's rules.

The answer can be no, and some assessments end without a prescription. That is the process working.

Four checks. The pharmacy is on the GPhC register. It names its superintendent pharmacist. It shows the MHRA distance selling logo as a working link. And it will not supply without an assessment.

The signals to walk away from are consistent: an advertised price, no assessment, no named prescriber, payment by bank transfer or cryptocurrency, or plentiful stock at a time when legitimate pharmacies are reporting supply constraints.

Sellers on social media, marketplaces and messaging apps are not licensed suppliers whatever their listing says. Falsified semaglutide has been found in UK supply chains and seized by the MHRA, and counterfeit packaging is usually better than people expect.

Only from a registered pharmacy, and only after a clinical assessment and a prescription. Searching "wegovy buy online" returns plenty of sites willing to skip both; none of them is a lawful supplier, and what arrives from them cannot be verified for identity, strength or sterility.

A legitimate online pharmacy looks different in one specific way: it will not let you reach a checkout before a prescriber has decided. If you can add Wegovy to a basket, you are not on a pharmacy site.

Searching "wegovy reviews" mostly returns individual accounts, and those are worth reading for what treatment feels like week to week: nausea after a dose increase, appetite changes, what people found manageable.

What reviews cannot tell you is whether Wegovy is appropriate for you. Response varies considerably between people, and a review is a sample of one with no information about the reader. The trial data on this page is the part that generalises; the reviews are the part that does not.

Cost depends on the dose, and the dose escalates over the first four months, so any single figure would be wrong for most people for most of that period. It also varies by provider and by market.

The reason no figure appears on this page is specific: prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK, and a published price is advertising. You are quoted after assessment, once the dose is known. A site that shows you a price for Wegovy before assessing you is telling you it does not follow that rule.

What is worth comparing before you commit is what the price includes. Whether follow-up reviews are covered, whether dose increases cost more, whether prescriber contact is charged separately, and what happens if you stop.
