Wegovy Injection Dosage
If you’ve never taken weight loss injections before, understanding the dose you need can, at times, be confusing. Patients taking Wegovy weight loss injections will take five different doses throughout their programme – increasing their dose every couple of weeks for maximum effectiveness.
The Wegovy starting dose is 0.25mg, followed by 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg and 2.4mg.

Wegovy Starting Dosage
For patients who haven’t taken Wegovy before, the starting dose is 0.25mg – which is to be taken once a week for four weeks before moving on to a slightly higher dose.
This is to allow your body to grow accustomed to the medication, before increasing the dose with approval from your medical professional.
Starting out on a higher dosage can result in unpleasant side effects, so it’s important to stick to the treatment timeline proposed by your medical professional.
However, just because you’re taking a lower dose, doesn’t mean you’re missing out on any of the weight loss benefits – you’ll notice a difference straight away.
To make understanding your Wegovy dosage easier, you can purchase injections in packs, which come with everything you need, including one 0.25mg dose of Wegovy (which will last approximately 4 weeks), to kickstart your programme, as well as one 0.5mg and 1mg dose.
