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.
