Key Takeaways: Semaglutide Dosing Everyone starts at 0.25 mg weekly regardless of body weight Standard titration takes 16 to 20 weeks to reach maximum dose Wegovy goes up to 2.4 mg weekly, Ozempic maxes at 2 mg weekly Never skip the gradual escalation, even if youve used GLP-1s before Most weight loss happens at doses of 1 mg weekly and higher Side effects typically peak during first week after dose increases Missing occasional doses is okay, but consistency matters for best results Some people maintain weight loss at lower doses than the maximum Why Semaglutide Requires Gradual Dose Escalation You might wonder why semaglutide cant just start at a therapeutic dose if thats where youll end up anyway
