Wegovy® is injected once a week, on the same day each week.
When starting Wegovy, the dose is gradually increased every four weeks to help your body adjust and reduce the risk of side effects. By Week 17, you will reach the full maintenance dose, which you will continue for the remainder of your treatment.
The initial dose is 0.25 mg once a week for four weeks. The dose is then increased every four weeks until you reach the recommended maintenance dose of 2.4 mg per week.
Depending on how well you tolerate the medication, your dose schedule may need to be adjusted. In some cases, it may not be appropriate to increase to the highest dose. Our clinical team will work closely with you to monitor your progress and adjust the dosage if necessary.
Ongoing monitoring is essential to ensure that the medication is effective and suitable for you. Our clinical team will assist you throughout the process to ensure the best possible outcomes.
