Wegovy® (semaglutide) is started at a low dose and gradually increased over time to help your body adjust and reduce the risk of side effects.
📆 Dosage Schedule:
Weeks 1–4: 0.25mg once weekly (this is the lowest dose).
Every 4 weeks: If well tolerated, your dose may increase to 0.5mg, then 1mg, 1.7mg, 2.4mg, and finally up to a maximum of 7.2mg.
Each increase depends on your progress, side effects, and goals - our clinical team will guide your dose adjustments safely based on your monthly assessments.
To remain eligible for long-term treatment, most patients are expected to achieve at least a 5% reduction in body weight after 6 months, in line with UK prescribing guidelines.
If you have questions about your dose or progress, please reach out to our team via contact form or telephone - we’re here to help you succeed.
