Wegovy Dose Strengths: What the Chart Shows
Wegovy is available as a pre-filled pen and is taken once a week by subcutaneous injection. According to the electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), the dose sequence commonly used is:
- 0.25 mg — the starting strength, typically used for the first four weeks to allow the body to adjust
- 0.5 mg — the next step, usually introduced after the initial period
- 1 mg — a mid-range maintenance strength
- 1.7 mg — a higher maintenance strength
- 2.4 mg — the target maintenance dose for most adults in the programme
Each step up is determined by your prescriber, not by the chart itself. How long you spend at each strength, and whether you move to the next, depends on your individual response and how well each stage is tolerated. No chart — including this one — replaces that clinical judgement.
It is worth noting that Wegovy and Ozempic both contain semaglutide but are different products licensed for different purposes; if you have questions about which product you have been prescribed, your prescriber or doctor is the right person to ask.
If you are also curious about how a tirzepatide dose sequence compares, see the Mounjaro dose strengths overview or the Mounjaro dose chart for a side-by-side look at that medicine's steps.

Keeping Track of Your Dose Journey with GLP Trackr
Knowing the dose stages is one thing — keeping a clear, ongoing record of where you actually are in your own journey is another. GLP Trackr's dose logging feature lets you record each injection as it happens: the date, the strength you used, and the time. Over the weeks, this builds an accurate timeline you can refer back to and, if useful, share with your prescriber at your next appointment.
Alongside dose logging, the app's side-effect tracker lets you note how you felt at each strength — nausea, fatigue, or anything else — so you can spot whether certain stages were harder than others. That kind of personal pattern data can make conversations with your healthcare professional more informed and productive.
If you want a broader picture of how Wegovy's doses work in practice, the Wegovy strengths guide covers each stage in more detail. For a comparison with the Mounjaro dose schedule, the Mounjaro overview hub is a good starting point.
Always follow the guidance of your prescriber or doctor on when and whether to move between strengths — they have the full picture of your health history that no app or chart can replace. If anything at your current dose feels severe, persistent, or worrying, contact your healthcare professional promptly rather than waiting for your next scheduled appointment.

The Most Advanced GLP-1 Brain Ever Built.
The first AI built exclusively for GLP-1 weight loss. Every insight, every meal plan, every prediction trained on one thing only: helping you get the most out of your medication.
Knows Your Cycle
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 strengths: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, and 2.4 mg. The sequence typically starts at the lowest dose and increases over several months, with each step guided by your prescriber.
This varies by individual and is decided by your prescriber. A common pattern involves staying at each strength for around four weeks before any increase, but your doctor will advise based on how well you are tolerating the current dose.
Yes, 2.4 mg is the target maintenance dose in the standard Wegovy titration schedule. Whether this dose is appropriate for you is a decision for your prescriber, who will consider your individual health profile and response to the medicine.
Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) have different dose ranges and step schedules; they are different medicines. Your prescriber chose the right one for you. A factual comparison of dose strengths is available in the GLP Trackr Mounjaro strengths guide.
Yes. GLP Trackr lets you log each injection with the dose strength, date, and time, building a clear timeline of your journey. This record can be useful to review or share with your prescriber at appointments.
