Wegovy Dose Levels: Understanding the Titration Schedule

The Wegovy titration schedule is designed to let your body adjust gradually, which can help reduce the intensity of common side effects such as nausea. According to information published on the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), the dose levels for Wegovy are as follows:

• Step 1 — 0.25 mg (weeks 1–4): the starting dose, used to introduce semaglutide to your system
• Step 2 — 0.5 mg (weeks 5–8): the first increase
• Step 3 — 1 mg (weeks 9–12): continued titration
• Step 4 — 1.7 mg (weeks 13–16): approaching the maintenance level
• Step 5 — 2.4 mg (week 17 onwards): the target maintenance dose for most people

Each step is one injection per week, and doses are not interchangeable between steps. Some people may stay at a lower dose for longer if their prescriber decides that is appropriate — this is an individual clinical decision, not something to adjust on your own.

If you want to understand more about the weekly schedule and how injection timing works in practice, the Wegovy weekly injection schedule page covers this in more detail. For a printable summary format, see the Wegovy dose chart overview, and for a broader look at how Wegovy dosing works overall, the Wegovy dosing guide is a useful starting point.

Any decision about moving between dose levels — including whether to delay a step up, remain at a lower dose, or revisit a previous dose — belongs with your prescriber or doctor. Never adjust your dose without their guidance.

Keeping an accurate record of where you are in your titration is one of the most practical things you can do on a Wegovy journey — and that is exactly what GLP Trackr is built for.

The app's dose logging feature lets you record every weekly injection with the dose strength, date, and time, so you always have a clear picture of which step you are on and when your next dose is due. Over weeks and months, this builds into a complete injection history you can refer back to or share with your prescriber.

Alongside dose logging, GLP Trackr's dose reminders help make sure a weekly injection is never forgotten — particularly useful during the early steps when the routine is still new. If you ever miss a dose, log it in the app so you have an accurate record to discuss with your prescriber; they can advise on the right next step based on your specific situation.

The app also connects dose data with side-effect tracking, so if nausea or other commonly reported symptoms feel more pronounced at a particular dose level, you can log that pattern and bring it to your next appointment as part of a clear, organised summary.

For broader context on titration across GLP-1 medicines, the Mounjaro dosing hub explores how prescriber-led dose progression works in practice.

GLP Trackr is a tracking tool, not a medical service. Any questions about your dose level, timing, or titration should always be directed to your prescriber or doctor — they know your full history and are best placed to guide you.
