Yes. Eligible adult men can be prescribed Wegovy after appropriate assessment. It is not a treatment reserved for women.
The product and route matter
Semaglutide products and formulations have distinct prescribing instructions. A BMI calculator or online article cannot decide suitability, choose a dose or authorise a switch. Availability through a service is separate from a medicine having UK authorisation.
What you can do next
Ask the prescriber which formulation and care pathway they are discussing. SHIFT does not currently prescribe or supply Wegovy.
