Wegovy 2.4 mg and Mounjaro: Are There Equivalent Doses?

Comparing doses across these two medicines is like comparing the markings on two entirely different measuring instruments — the numbers describe different things.

Different active substances, different mechanisms

Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist — meaning it acts on two appetite-regulating pathways rather than one. Because they act differently in the body, a milligram figure for one cannot be translated into a milligram figure for the other.

Different dose schedules

Wegovy is typically started at 0.25 mg once weekly and titrated up through 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg — with each stage lasting several weeks as directed by a prescriber. Mounjaro commonly starts at 2.5 mg and steps up through 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg on a prescriber-led schedule. The numbers in each range are internal to that medicine's design. A Wegovy dose of 0.5 mg is not equivalent to a Mounjaro dose of 0.5 mg, and Wegovy 1.7 mg has no direct Mounjaro counterpart — the scales are simply not comparable.

What people are usually asking

Many people searching for an equivalent are trying to understand where they sit in their treatment, or what a switch between medicines might mean. That is a completely understandable question — but it is one your prescriber or doctor is best placed to answer, taking into account your full history and response to treatment. For more on how specific stages of each medicine relate in general terms, see how the 1 mg Wegovy dose compares in context and what the Wegovy range looks like alongside Mounjaro 5 mg. You can also explore what 1 mg Wegovy means within its own titration schedule for further context.

Whichever medicine you have been prescribed — and wherever you are in the dose schedule — keeping a clear record of every injection is one of the most practical things you can do to stay on top of your treatment.

GLP Trackr's dose logging feature lets you record each weekly injection with the date, time, and dose strength, so you always have an accurate picture of your schedule. If you ever need to discuss your progress, timing, or how your current dose is going, that logged history gives you and your prescriber a reliable starting point rather than trying to recall details from memory. The app also sends dose reminders so a once-weekly injection is never accidentally missed — particularly useful during titration, when the schedule can feel new.

You can use GLP Trackr's doctor report feature to bring a clear, organised summary of your dose history to your next appointment — useful if you are at any point discussing whether your current dose is working for you, or whether a change might be considered.

A note on dose decisions: GLP Trackr helps you record and organise your journey — it does not provide dosing guidance or advice on switching medicines. Any question about your dose, your titration schedule, or whether a different medicine might suit you should be discussed with your prescriber or doctor, who knows your full medical history. If you experience symptoms that concern you, contact your healthcare professional promptly.
