Wegovy: How to Get Your Prescription Filled and What to Expect

Have you been wondering when Wegovy will be back in stock? Well, we have some good news for you. We have been working tirelessly to increase production capacity and meet the growing demand for Wegovy®, the groundbreaking weight management medication.

Increased Supply for 2024

Starting in January 2024, we will be doubling the amount of the lower dose strengths of Wegovy® available in the U.S. market. This means that more new patients will have the opportunity to initiate treatment. Throughout the rest of the year, we will continue to gradually increase the overall supply. That said, it may still take a couple of weeks for the product to arrive in pharmacies.

Meeting Patient Needs

We understand how important it is to ensure continuity of care for patients. While we are doing our best to manage shipments, it’s crucial to be aware that the demand for Wegovy® still exceeds the supply. This means that some patients may face difficulties in filling their Wegovy® prescriptions.

Our Dedication to Serve

Rest assured that we are fully committed to manufacturing more Wegovy®. Our manufacturing lines are running 24/7 to meet the increasing demand. Since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2021, we have already served over one million U.S. patients with Wegovy®. Currently, more than 600,000 people in the U.S. are benefitting from this medicine as part of their weight management journey.

Battling Obesity Together

Obesity is a serious and chronic disease that affects numerous individuals, including our friends, colleagues, families, and loved ones. Our long-term commitment is to develop innovative medicines, raise awareness, and advocate for a better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of obesity.

If you are facing challenges in filling your Wegovy® prescription, we recommend discussing this with your healthcare professional. They can guide you on the best approach to ensure that your obesity care is not halted.

Important Considerations

Please note that at this time, we do not recommend switching to Saxenda® (liraglutide) injection 3 mg as an alternative treatment. The demand for weight management medications is continuously rising, and we cannot guarantee supply to match this demand.

Dose Strengths and Availability

Wegovy® is available in five different dose strengths. We are currently producing and shipping all dose strengths, including the incremental increase from the first three dose strengths to the fourth (1.7 mg) and fifth (2.4 mg) maintenance dose strengths. The recommended maintenance dose is 2.4 mg, as stated in the Prescribing Information.

Filling Your Wegovy® Prescription: Important Guidance

To ensure a smooth process when filling your Wegovy® prescription, we provide the following guidance:

  • Contact your pharmacy earlier than usual for refills. This applies to both online and walk-in pharmacies.
  • Specify the exact dose strength you need when speaking with your pharmacy. Different pharmacies may have varying stocks, so they may need to order the specific dose you require.
  • If you encounter difficulties finding your specific dose strength, try checking other local pharmacies for availability.

We understand the importance of Wegovy® in your weight management journey, and we are committed to working towards a solution that ensures all patients have access to the medication they need.
