Wegovy Dose Strengths: How the Titration Schedule Works
Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable medicine. According to the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), treatment is usually initiated at 0.25 mg per week, with the dose increasing at set intervals until the maintenance strength of 2.4 mg is reached — a process that typically unfolds over several months. The purpose of starting low is to reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, which are more commonly reported when the dose increases.
Each step in the schedule is a clinical decision. Your prescriber will take into account how you are tolerating the current strength, your overall health, and any side effects you have reported before moving to the next stage. Some people spend longer at a particular strength than the standard schedule suggests — that is normal and entirely at the prescriber's discretion.
Wegovy Strengths at a Glance
- 0.25 mg — starting dose; not a therapeutic maintenance dose
- 0.5 mg — first escalation step
- 1 mg — mid-titration
- 1.7 mg — second-to-last step
- 2.4 mg — maintenance dose for most people
If you would like a visual reference for the full schedule, the Wegovy dose strength chart sets out each stage clearly. For a broader overview of what Wegovy is and how it is used, the Wegovy overview covers the essentials.
It is worth noting that Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has a different set of strengths and a different titration pathway — you can read a factual side-by-side in the guide to Wegovy compared with Mounjaro. Both are prescription-only medicines and neither is inherently "stronger" than the other in a way that is meaningful without clinical context; suitability for any individual is always a prescriber decision.

Tracking Your Wegovy Dose Stage with GLP Trackr
Knowing which strength you are currently on — and keeping a clear record of when you moved between stages — 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 exact dose strength, date, and time, so you always have an accurate history to refer back to.
That log becomes especially useful at prescriber appointments. Rather than trying to recall when you last changed strength or how you felt during a particular stage, you can bring a clear, timestamped record. The app's doctor report feature compiles your dose history alongside any side effects and wellbeing data you have logged, giving you and your prescriber a much richer picture to work from.
Dose reminders are also built in, so a weekly injection is less likely to be missed — and if a dose is missed for any reason, logging it in the app means you have an accurate record to discuss with your prescriber rather than relying on memory.
For a complete view of your journey on Wegovy, the GLP-1 tracking hub brings together dose logging, side-effect tracking, weight progress, and more in one place.
A note on dose decisions: any question about whether to stay at your current strength, move up, or pause should be answered by your prescriber or doctor — they know your full history and are best placed to advise. GLP Trackr helps you record and organise the information; it is not a substitute for that clinical guidance.

GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.
Finds Your Golden Dose
GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
Wegovy (semaglutide) is available in five dose strengths: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg. Treatment typically starts at 0.25 mg and increases gradually, with the 2.4 mg pen being the standard maintenance dose for most people.
The titration schedule is set and managed by your prescriber or doctor. They will consider how well you are tolerating the current strength and your individual health before moving to the next dose stage. No dose change should be made without their guidance.
Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) have different dose ranges and titration schedules because they are different medicines with different active substances. Neither is universally "stronger" — suitability and dosing for any individual is a decision for their prescriber.
Yes. GLP Trackr lets you log each weekly injection with the dose strength, date, and time. This builds a clear dose history you can review yourself or share with your prescriber at appointments using the app's doctor report feature.
Any question about your dose — whether to stay at the current strength, increase, or pause — should be directed to your prescriber or doctor. They are best placed to advise based on your full medical history. GLP Trackr helps you record information to support those conversations, not replace them.
