Weight-loss guide
The label does not start at 0.5 mg
People ask if they can start Wegovy at 0.5 mg. Position 1 on 2026-10-16 is the Wegovy pen guide. We are not going to outrank that this month. The line we opened is the start dose.
What the label prints
| Wegovy injection label | Plain version |
|---|---|
| Start 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then escalate. | The brand schedule does not begin at 0.5 mg. |
| Usual maintenance on that label is 2.4 mg once weekly. | That is the brand pen, not a compounded dose. |
| Do not use with another semaglutide product or another GLP-1 receptor agonist. | Do not stack a start dose on top of another GLP-1. |
| Boxed warning: thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents. | Do not start with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or with MEN 2. |
A clinician sets any compounded dose. See compounded semaglutide.
