Frequently asked
What is the standard Wegovy titration schedule?+
Titrated over 4-5 months: 0.25mg → 0.5mg → 1mg → 1.7mg → 2.4mg, increasing every 4 weeks. Maintenance dose 2.4mg weekly. Slower titration is common to manage GI side effects.
What if I miss a Wegovy dose?+
Missed-dose guidance depends on time elapsed since the scheduled injection. As a general rule, take the missed dose within the manufacturer's recovery window; if past that, skip and resume the regular schedule. Confirm with prescribing clinician.
