How This Semaglutide Dosage Calculator Answers "What is My Dose?"
The most common question for patients starting Ozempic or Wegovy is "what is my correct dose?" Our Semaglutide dosage calculator 2026 provides the answer instantly, using FDA-approved dosing guidelines. With over 100,000 monthly users, it's the most trusted tool for semaglutide dosing information.
What is the correct Semaglutide (Ozempic) starting dose?
The FDA-approved starting dose for Semaglutide (Ozempic) is 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, increase to 0.5 mg once weekly. If additional glycemic control is needed, increase to 1 mg after at least 4 weeks on 0.5 mg. For Wegovy (weight loss), start at 0.25 mg weekly and titrate every 4 weeks: 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, then 2.4 mg (maintenance).
How do I titrate Ozempic for diabetes?
Ozempic titration schedule: Weeks 1-4: 0.25 mg weekly. Weeks 5-8: 0.5 mg weekly (maintenance for many). If A1C target not reached after at least 4 weeks on 0.5 mg, increase to 1 mg weekly. Maximum dose for diabetes is 1 mg weekly (2 mg dose available in some countries but not standard).
What is the Wegovy dosing schedule for weight loss?
Wegovy titration schedule: Weeks 1-4: 0.25 mg weekly. Weeks 5-8: 0.5 mg weekly. Weeks 9-12: 1 mg weekly. Weeks 13-16: 1.7 mg weekly. Week 17 onward: 2.4 mg weekly (maintenance dose). Do not increase faster than every 4 weeks to minimize side effects.
What is the maximum Semaglutide dose?
Maximum dose depends on the indication: For Ozempic (diabetes): 1 mg weekly (2 mg in some countries but not FDA-approved for diabetes). For Wegovy (weight loss): 2.4 mg weekly. Do not exceed these doses. Higher doses increase risk of severe side effects including pancreatitis and gallbladder disease.
What if I miss a dose of Ozempic?
If you miss a dose within 5 days of your scheduled dose, take it as soon as possible. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day. Do not take two doses within 5 days of each other. Resume your regular dosing schedule.
What are the side effects of Semaglutide?
Common side effects: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, injection site reactions, fatigue, headache. Serious side effects: pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney injury, severe hypoglycemia (especially with sulfonylureas or insulin), thyroid C-cell tumors (contraindicated in MEN2 or personal/family history of MTC). Seek emergency care if you experience severe abdominal pain radiating to back, persistent nausea/vomiting.
Is Ozempic the same as Wegovy?
Ozempic and Wegovy are both Semaglutide, but they are approved for different indications and have different dosing. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes with doses up to 1 mg weekly (2 mg in some countries). Wegovy is approved for weight management with doses up to 2.4 mg weekly. They are the same medication but different brand names and dosing schedules.
Can I use Ozempic for weight loss?
While Ozempic is FDA-approved only for diabetes, it is often prescribed off-label for weight loss. However, Wegovy is specifically approved for weight management. The dosing for weight loss should follow the Wegovy schedule (up to 2.4 mg weekly). Always consult your doctor for appropriate prescribing.
