What Strength Is A Wegovy Prescription?
The advised strength for a Wegovy weekly injection is 2.4mg. You will start with a low dose that will be raised over a 16 week period to reach the maximum strength. This gradual increase will allow your body to adapt to the semaglutide whilstst reviewing any potential side effects.
The first dose of Wegovy will be set at 0.25mg, administered once a week. Every four weeks, this weekly dosage will increase until the 2.4mg maintenance dosage is reached. From then on, you’ll take the 2.4mg weekly injections until you fall to a healthy BMI or unless your medical team suggests a different course.
