Tablet or injection — what's the difference?
Both work in similar ways; the difference is mostly how you take them and how they fit your life. Here's a simple side-by-side — your prescriber will help you choose what suits your health and goals.

Find your equivalent dose
Already on a weekly injection and wondering how the tablet compares? These are the approximate clinical equivalents. It is a guide only — your NewGen prescriber confirms the right starting dose and how you step up.
| Mounjaro injection | Wegovy tablets | Wegovy injection |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | 1.5 mg or 4 mgif ready to increase | 0.25 mg |
| 5 mg | 4 mg | 0.5 mg |
| 7.5 mg | 4 mg or 9 mgif ready to increase | 1 mg |
| 10 mg / 12.5 mg | 9 mg | 1.7 mg |
| 15 mg | 25 mg | 2.4 mg |
Doses shown are approximate clinical equivalents between treatments.
Weight-loss outcomes depend on dose, duration and individual factors.
Always follow your prescriber’s recommendations.
This comparison is general guidance, not a recommendation to switch treatments. New tablet patients start at 1.5 mg and build up gradually, whatever their previous injection dose. Your NewGen prescriber will confirm the most suitable medicine, starting dose and titration plan for you.
Wegovy tablets — the first of its kind in the UK
Semaglutide is one of the most widely recognised medicines used within weight management services in the UK, and is the active ingredient in Wegovy — already available as a once-weekly injection for eligible patients.
Semaglutide belongs to a group of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These treatments act on areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping to support feelings of fullness.
In June 2026, the MHRA approved an oral (tablet) form of semaglutide for weight management — the first weight-loss pill of its kind licensed in the UK. It is now available at NewGen for eligible patients, and may offer an alternative for people who would prefer a daily tablet to a weekly injection.
As with all prescription-only medicines, oral semaglutide is prescribed only following a clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional, and is used alongside lifestyle measures such as dietary changes, increased physical activity and ongoing support.
A daily pill, not a weekly needle
For many people, a simple daily tablet feels more familiar than a weekly injection and slots more easily into work, travel and everyday life. If needles have been holding you back, an oral option could change that — once a prescriber confirms it is suitable for you.
- Taken by mouth — no needles
- Once daily, built into your routine
- Always alongside diet, activity and pharmacist support

Prescriber review & dispatch
If approved, we let you know and dispense your treatment in discreet, tracked packaging. If it isn't suitable, a prescriber explains why and points you to better care.
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. Weight management medicines are not suitable for everyone.
A healthcare professional will always assess whether a treatment is appropriate and safe before prescribing. These medicines are for adults aged 18 and over, and work best as part of a wider programme that includes nutrition, activity and long-term lifestyle support.
Eligibility depends on a range of clinical factors, including:
- Medical history
- Current medications
- Weight-related health conditions
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Individual treatment goals
- National and local prescribing criteria

The price for any specific medicine and dose is confirmed inside your consultation, once eligibility has been established.
