As the first oral dual GLP-1 and amylin agonist, Amycretin promises significant weight loss with up to 24% body-weight reduction in 36 weeks via injections, and 13% over 12 weeks in pill form. But when can you get Amycretin in the UK and where? Here’s everything you need to know.
Launch Timeline in the UK
Amycretin is not yet available in the UK. It has completed Phase 1b/2a and will enter Phase 3 trials in early 2026.
Regulatory approval via MHRA/NICE could take until 2029–2030.
Novo Nordisk expects approval “within this decade” and is developing both subcutaneous and oral versions simultaneously.
For context, patients interested in weight-loss treatments can explore alternatives like Orforglipron oral weight loss GLP-1 tablets which are in development as well.
