FDA approves a weight loss pill, here’s how Wegovy tablets compare to injections 💊

The FDA has approved a pill version of Wegovy, marking the first GLP-1 medication for weight loss available as a daily tablet instead of an injection. In clinical trials, patients lost an average of 16% of their body weight over 64 weeks.

Experts say the pill could make treatment more accessible for people who are uncomfortable with needles, but they stress it’s not a shortcut. The medication works by suppressing appetite and must be paired with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

⚠️ Cost and insurance coverage remain major concerns, with some experts warning access may still be limited.
