WeGovy Tablets with Bolt Pharmacy
I was due my check in and decided to ask some questions about the pills and if they would make it cheaper for me. Here’s the responses I got, hopefully it’ll help someone wondering the same.
“Happy to help with that, Here's a quick breakdown.
On subscription (which is what you're on):
💉 Wegovy injection. Your current 1mg dose: £119/month
💊 Wegovy Pill (existing patient subscription rates. The new-customer intro offer doesn't apply to you):
• 1.5mg starter: £99/month
• 4mg: £119/month
• 9mg: £159/month
• 25mg: £219/month
One thing worth knowing: the pill has its own dose ladder and doesn't convert 1:1 from the injection. When switching, the clinician confirms the right starting pill dose based on where you are now. So the exact cost gets confirmed at your check-in rather than being fixed in advance.
On cost: based on the switching protocol, coming from 1mg injection would typically put you in the 9mg-25mg pill range (£159-£219/month), so it wouldn't be cheaper than where you are now. For context, 1.7mg injection is £159/month on subscription too. The exact pill starting dose is always confirmed by your clinician, and the switch option appears at the dose step of your check-in where it applies”
