The sources show Wegovy is an FDA-approved weight loss medication sold as both a pill (FDA-approved December 22, 2025) and a pen, as of the 2026-08-10 claim date.

A played clip makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
