You can order Wegovy (semaglutide) pens online at competitive prices through our uk-registered pharmacy. Please note that this is a prescription-only treatment.

Wegovy is a branded weight loss injection. It's the brand name for the drug semaglutide, which helps control appetite.

Semaglutide is also sold under the name Ozempic, but Wegovy is specifically approved by the FDA for weight loss in UK, while Ozempic is approved for treating type 2 diabetes.

It's for adults dealing with obesity or over weight with a body mass index (BMI) over 30. It can also be used by people with a BMI over 27 who have weight-related problems, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

Wegovy injection contains semaglutide as the main ingredient. Semaglutide acts like a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

GLP-1, produced by the gut, is released after eating and plays a key role in controlling appetite, blood sugar levels, and weight loss.

Wegovy works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This hormone plays a key role in regulating appetite and food intake.

When you take Wegovy, it activates GLP-1 receptors in the brain. This helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach. As a result, you’re likely to feel satisfied with less food — which can lead to a lower calorie intake and support sustained weight loss.

While it doesn’t "block" your appetite in the traditional sense, Wegovy changes how your body responds to hunger signals, helping you take control of your eating habits over time.

Wegovy prices at Ashcroft Pharmacy start at approximately £119.99 for a single pen of 0.25mg, with higher doses (e.g., 2.4mg) priced around £225 per pen.

Multi-pen bundles can help reduce the cost per pen. The overall monthly cost depends on the dose chosen, with the 1mg dose often being more affordable and the 2.4mg dose providing the most effective weight loss results.

Wegovy 0.25 mg

Recommended for getting started with your weight loss journey.

• 1 pen Price: £119.99 for 4 doses (1 month)

• £31.25 per week

Wegovy 1 mg

Wegovy 1 mg is usually used in the third month after successfully completing the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses without facing any complications. At this point, you should start seeing remarkable weight reduction, and it’s an important dose for individuals looking for more substantial weight management.

Wegovy comes in five doses, starting from 0.25mg and going up to a maximum of 2.4mg. Our practitioners will determine the right dosage schedule for you, typically starting low and gradually increasing it over weeks to minimize side effects.

It should be taken alongside a well-balanced, calorie-controlled diet. Try to keep fat intake under 30% of your total calories, and aim for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods.

Stay Hydrated

Drink 8–11 cups (about 2.7 litres) of fluids per day to support your health while on treatment.

Injecting Wegovy: Step-by-Step

Wegovy is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, which means it goes just under the skin — NOT into a vein or muscle.

You can inject into:

• The stomach area (avoid a 2-inch radius around your belly button).
• The front of your thighs.
• The upper arms.

Rotate injection sites each week to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

Important: Do not share your pen or needles with others. Doing so could spread infections.

Before Your Injection:

1. Check your pen.

• Make sure the medicatio is clear, not cloudy or discoloured.
• Confirm the pen is NOT expired and is not damaged.

2. Prepare your injection site

• Wash the area with soap and water or use an alcohol wipe.

3. Attach a new needle

• Use a fresh needle for every injection.

4. Priming (only once)

• You only need to prime the pen once — the first time you use a new pen.
• To prime: Press the flow check button (two dots) and ensure a drop appears.
• If no drop appears after 2 tries, replace the needle and try again. Still nothing? Contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Injecting

• Set your dose as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Inject by pressing the button and hold until the dose counter reaches 0.
• Remove the needle carefully.

After Injection

• Dispose of the needle safely in a sharps bin.
• Cap your pen and store it properly.
• Track your dose to stay on schedule.
