Wegovy Is a Prescription-Only Medicine — Here Is What That Means
Because Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for weight management, it is classified as a prescription-only medicine in the UK and most other countries. That classification exists to ensure the medicine is appropriate for each individual — suitability, dosing, and monitoring are decisions made by a prescriber who knows your full medical history.
How people typically access it
In most countries, the process involves a consultation with a prescriber or doctor, who assesses whether Wegovy is appropriate for you. If prescribed, you then obtain the medicine through a registered pharmacy — either in person or, where legally permitted, through a registered online pharmacy. The exact pathway varies depending on where you live and your local healthcare system; your prescriber or doctor is the right person to guide you through the steps that apply in your situation.
A note on online sources
Wegovy is subject to significant demand in many markets, and counterfeit or unlicensed products have been reported. Wherever you are in the world, it is important to use only a pharmacy that is registered with your national medicines regulator. If you have any doubts about a source, speak to your prescriber or a registered pharmacist before proceeding.

Already Prescribed? Here Is How GLP Trackr Helps You Make the Most of It
Once you have your prescription and your supply, consistency matters — and that is exactly where GLP Trackr comes in. The most immediate way the app supports you is through dose logging and reminders: every weekly injection is recorded with its date, time, and dose strength, so you always know where you are in your schedule and never risk losing track of a dose. Forgetting a dose or injecting twice by mistake is an easy error on a weekly regimen, and the app's gentle reminders help prevent it.
Beyond that, injection-site tracking means you can log where each dose was given and let the app suggest your next rotation — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm — which many people find reassuring when they are new to weekly injections.
Over time, the app also brings together your weight, food, mood, and energy data in one place, so you can see how your journey is progressing and bring a clear, organised picture to your next prescriber appointment. See our overview of the cost and value side of GLP-1 treatment for more on making the most of your prescription.
If you have any questions about your dose, your schedule, or whether Wegovy is still the right option for you, those decisions belong with your prescriber or doctor — they know your full history and are best placed to advise you.

The Most Advanced GLP-1 Brain Ever Built.
The first AI built exclusively for GLP-1 weight loss. Every insight, every meal plan, every prediction trained on one thing only: helping you get the most out of your medication.
Knows Your Cycle
GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.
Finds Your Golden Dose
GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.
