Wegovy is taken once a week, on the same day each week.
The right dose of Wegovy is different for everyone. Treatment starts at a lower dose and is increased gradually to help reduce side effects and allow your body time to adjust.
Some people achieve good results at lower doses, while others may need a higher dose for additional support. There is no single “correct” dose that applies to everyone.
If lower doses are well tolerated but not providing the level of support needed, a higher-dose option (including Wegovy 7.2mg) may be considered. This decision is always based on individual response, tolerability, and clinical assessment.
Your clinician will work with you throughout treatment to:
Monitor how well Wegovy is working for you
Assess side effects and safety
Adjust your dose if needed
The aim is to find the dose that is most effective and comfortable for you, and to continue reviewing this as your needs change.
