At Miami Bariatric and Plastic Surgery, MD, we understand that while many patients want the weight loss results of Semaglutide, not everyone is comfortable with injections.
If you are looking for “Wegovy Pills” in Miami or Hialeah, you are actually looking for Oral Semaglutide (medically known as Rybelsus®). Under the expert care of Dr. Sergey Terushkin, you can access this needle-free alternative safely and effectively.
We have streamlined the process to help you start your weight loss journey immediately.
It is important to clarify the terminology. Wegovy® is the brand name for the injectable form of Semaglutide. The oral pill form of the same drug is called Rybelsus®.
Because they use the exact same active ingredient to curb appetite and regulate blood sugar, many patients refer to them as “Wegovy Pills.” Dr. Terushkin prescribes the oral version for patients who prefer to avoid needles.
Oral Semaglutide requires a specific “titration” schedule—meaning we start low and go slow to let your body adjust.
| Phase | Dosage Strength | Duration | Purpose |
| Initiation | 3 mg | Month 1 | Allows your body to adapt to the medication without severe side effects. |
| Therapeutic | 7 mg | Month 2 | The standard dose where weight loss typically accelerates. |
| Maintenance | 14 mg | Month 3+ | The maximum dose, prescribed if needed to sustain or increase weight loss. |
To ensure the pill works, you must follow these rules strictly:
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and tend to go away after a few weeks. Dr. Terushkin’s team is here to help you manage them.
