How to Get Wegovy

Linda Girgis | MD

Medically reviewed by Linda Girgis | MD, Girgis Family Medicine on August 20th, 2026.

Getting Wegovy requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. To qualify, you typically need a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The process involves a comprehensive medical assessment where your doctor reviews your health history, current medications, and discusses potential side effects. Online consultations with licensed providers are available and typically take 15-20 minutes. If approved, your prescription is sent directly to your preferred pharmacy. Your healthcare provider will determine if this FDA-approved weight loss medication is appropriate for your specific health goals and medical history.
