How much semaglutide should I take for weight loss?

This site does not give dosing recommendations, but the approved label is public record. Wegovy is titrated up to a 2.4 milligram weekly injection, and a higher 7.2 milligram dose was approved in March 2026 after a trial reporting 18.7% weight loss at 72 weeks versus lower doses, alongside skin sensation side effects in about 23% of that group. An oral 25 milligram daily pill was also approved in December 2025. Dosing is a medical decision between you and a prescriber.
