## Resource

The UK just greenlit a pill version of Wegovy, offering a major convenience upgrade for weight management—but it’s not yet NHS-approved. While injections have long been the go-to for GLP-1 drugs, Novo Nordisk’s new oral option promises easier daily use, no fridge needed, and potentially lower costs. Users like Sophie Bradfield, who lost five stone, hope it’ll be more affordable, while others like Mick Collins, who lost over two stone, prefer the weekly jab and worry about daily pill adherence. NICE is still reviewing it, so for now, it’s a private prescription only. More choices mean more hope—for better health, one pill or injection at a time.
