Wegovy is semaglutide. Official labelling now covers two presentations under that name: an injection given once a week, and tablets taken by mouth. Your own pack and the prescription behind it are the authority on which of them you have, and no general page can tell you that.
Searching for a Wegovy tracker usually means one of two quite different things: a way to remember the medicine itself, or a way to keep an account of what happens in the days around it. A record worth the effort does both, because the two questions that come up at a review appointment — what did you take and when, and how have you actually been — are answered by different parts of the same log.
The half of the record that is the same either way
Most of what a prescriber will want to read does not depend on the pack at all. How you have been eating, what your digestion has done, what your own measurements have done, and what else you take are the same fields whichever presentation is in your cupboard, so they are the sensible place to start.
NHS guidance on semaglutide describes digestive side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation among the things people may notice, and MHRA has reminded both patients and prescribers to stay alert to the side effects of this class of medicine. None of that says what you personally will experience. It says which categories are worth having a place for in a record, so that if something does happen you are writing it down rather than deciding on the spot whether it counts.
- Appetite and fullness at ordinary meals, in a couple of words rather than a paragraph
- Any digestive symptom, the day it happened, and roughly how long it lasted
- Energy and sleep, if either is something you have noticed shifting
- Anything you would want to raise at a review but would otherwise forget by then
Entries this small are the point. Some people notice their experience varies across the days following a dose and want that visible in the record, which is easy enough as long as every entry carries its date. Others notice nothing of the kind, and an honest record that shows no pattern is a genuinely useful result rather than a failed experiment.
If the pack you were given is the injection
This part is short, and it is short deliberately. Its whole job is to be accurate months later, when memory has smoothed the details away and you are trying to answer a specific question about a specific week.
- The date the injection actually happened, which is not always the date it was planned for
- The general area used, if you rotate between sites, without needing anything more precise than abdomen, thigh, or upper arm
- When a new pen or a new box was started, so that supply and dates still line up when you look back
- Any reason a planned date moved, such as travel, illness, a delayed prescription, or simply forgetting until the following day
Recording the actual date rather than the intended one is the single most useful discipline here. A record of intentions tells you what your routine was supposed to look like; a record of events tells you what it was, and only the second one is worth bringing to an appointment.
Reactions at the site are worth their own line when they happen. MedlinePlus describes injection site reactions as a recognised side effect of semaglutide injections, and advises telling a doctor about ones that are severe or that do not settle. Noting what you saw, roughly how big it was, and how long it lasted takes seconds and is far more useful than a later attempt to describe it from memory.
If the pack you were given is tablets
MedlinePlus drug information for semaglutide taken by mouth lists Wegovy among the brand names it covers, alongside Rybelsus, so a reader who arrived here holding a tablet pack is in the right place with a different set of things to write down. There is no injection date, no site, and no pen to keep count of. Timing takes their place.
Semaglutide taken by mouth carries conditions about food, other drinks, other medicines swallowed at the same time of day, and taking the tablet whole. Those particulars live in the leaflet that came in your own pack. None of them appear here, and a pharmacist can talk them through alongside everything else you take. What a record adds is an accurate description of how the mornings actually went.
- The date, and roughly when the tablet was taken
- Roughly when food, another drink, or another medicine taken by mouth followed
- Whether the morning ran as usual, or was rushed, delayed, or different in a way worth naming
- The date each new pack was started, because a pack carries no visible gauge and the count is yours to keep
Weight and measurements, at a cadence you can keep
CDC guidance on losing weight emphasises consistent tracking methods over reacting to individual measurements, and that is the whole design principle for this part of a record. Weigh yourself in a consistent way — similar time, similar clothing, same scale — at a cadence you can sustain for months rather than days. Write down the number and the date, and compare later readings against a fixed starting point rather than against last time.
Body measurements and how clothes fit belong in the same section, taken far less often. They move slowly enough that recording them every few weeks captures everything a more frequent routine would, without adding a task that quietly gets dropped. This page states nothing about how much or how fast anything should change; the record exists to describe what happened for you, not to be marked against an expectation.
The medicines half
FDA advises keeping a current list of every medicine and supplement you take and bringing it to appointments. Kept alongside the rest, that list turns a tracking record into something a clinician can work from in one pass: what you are taking, when you took it, what you have noticed, and what your own numbers have done.
What the record cannot settle
A well-kept record is evidence, not a conclusion. It cannot tell you whether treatment is working, whether a symptom is caused by the medicine, or whether anything about your prescription should change. Those judgements need someone who knows your history, and they need this record as an input rather than as an answer. Questions about a missed, late, or early dose belong to the patient information leaflet that came with your own pack and to your prescriber or pharmacist, not to a log.
Some things should never wait for the next entry. Severe or persistent abdominal pain, vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down, signs of a severe allergic reaction, or a site reaction that spreads rapidly and is accompanied by fever are all reasons to seek medical help promptly rather than to write a careful note and review it later.
