WW International, Inc. has incorporated Novo Nordisk’s newly FDA‑approved oral Wegovy® pill into its integrated GLP‑1 platform, offering members a once‑daily oral alternative to injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide. The program, part of WW’s Med+ and GLP‑1 Success initiatives, will provide the medication at a starting price of $149 per month, matching Novo Nordisk’s $5‑per‑day pricing for self‑pay patients.
The oral Wegovy® pill received FDA approval on December 22 2025 and is expected to be widely available across the United States in early January 2026. By adding this product, WW expands its clinical offering beyond injectables, addressing a key barrier for patients who prefer oral therapy and positioning the company to capture a larger share of the rapidly growing GLP‑1 market.
Strategically, the move supports WW’s two‑speed business model, which prioritizes clinical growth over declining behavioral subscriptions. The company’s recent acquisition of telehealth firm Sequence and the integration of medical innovation with its behavioral coaching underscore a broader shift toward a medically driven, high‑margin revenue stream. CEO Tara Comonte has described this as “entering a new era, uniquely positioned at the intersection of medical innovation and behavioral science.”
Financially, WW’s Q3 2025 results showed revenue of $172.09 million and a net loss of $57.52 million, while Q4 2024 revenue was $184.4 million with a net income of $25.1 million. Clinical subscription revenue grew 35% year‑over‑year, offsetting declines in overall revenue. The addition of oral Wegovy® is expected to drive higher‑margin revenue, accelerate subscriber acquisition, and help the company achieve its goal of a more profitable, clinically focused business model.
Management emphasized that the oral medication will provide “safe, expert access to GLP‑1 medications, support that fits the way people actually live, and most importantly, real and sustainable results.” This statement highlights the company’s commitment to combining medication access with its proven behavioral coaching, community support, and digital tools to improve adherence and outcomes.
By broadening its addressable market and offering a convenient oral option, WW positions itself to attract new members who may have been hesitant about injections, thereby strengthening its competitive stance in the GLP‑1 space and supporting its strategic pivot toward higher‑margin clinical services.
