Superdrug Online Doctor now carries Novo Nordisk’s tablet substitute for the well-liked weight-loss injection.
Before the provider determines if a patient is eligible for a prescription, those who would like to pick up the product must complete an extensive online clinical examination that includes questions about their height, weight, and medical history.
According to Superdrug, the lowest dose of the Wegovy tablet, 1.5 mg, starts at £79 for patients starting with a month’s supply.
For the same dosage, current patients should budget £99. New clients can pay £99 for a 4 mg dose, while current patients can pay £119.
Superdrug Online Doctor’s general practitioner, Dr. Clair Grainger, stated: “We’ve seen strong interest in our information register following regulatory approval.”
“People can now finish their consultation and access treatment if clinically appropriate, whether that be online, in a pharmacy, or in a clinic, since prescribing is now underway.”
“Any treatment will only be prescribed after a thorough clinical assessment against eligibility criteria, as obesity is a complex medical issue.”
For new patients, the two highest doses—9 mg and 25 mg—will cost £149 and £209, respectively, and are “coming soon.” According to Superdrug, current patients can anticipate paying between £169 and £229.
Patients can currently only purchase the tablet’s two lowest dosages online, but some Superdrug locations will eventually carry them.
Thousands of eager patients joined pharmacy waiting lines throughout the United Kingdom after learning that the Wegovy pill’s use was only authorized on June 11.
