What is the recommended dosage for wegovy?



Wegovy is a medication used for weight management in adults who are overweight or have obesity. It contains semaglutide, which works by decreasing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. The recommended dosage for Wegovy is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, which should be administered on the same day each week. The starting dose is 0.25 mg per week for four weeks, followed by an increase to 0.5 mg per week for four weeks. After that, the dose can be increased to 1 mg per week, which is the recommended maintenance dose [2].

It is important to note that the dosage of Wegovy should be individualized based on the patient's response to treatment and tolerability. Patients should be monitored closely for any adverse effects, and the dose should be adjusted as needed [3]. Additionally, Wegovy should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal weight loss results [2].
