Read the Instructions for Use that comes with your prescription.
Use Wegovy exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to.
Your healthcare provider should show you how to use Wegovy before you use it for the first time.
Wegovy is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) of your stomach (abdomen), thigh, or upper arm. Do not inject Wegovy into a muscle (intramuscularly) or vein (intravenously).
Change (rotate) your injection site with each injection. Do not use the same site for each injection.
Use Wegovy 1 time each week, on the same day each week, at any time of the day.
Start Wegovy with 0.25 mg per week in your first month. In your second month, increase your weekly dose to 0.5 mg. In the third month, increase your weekly dose to 1 mg. In the fourth month, increase your weekly dose to 1.7 mg and in the fifth month onwards, increase your weekly dose to the full dose of 2.4 mg. If you need to change the day of the week, you may do so as long as your last dose was given 2 or more days before.
If you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away (48 hours), take the missed dose as soon as possible. If you miss a dose and the next schedule dose is less than 2 days away (48 hours), do not administer the dose. Take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day or call your healthcare provider to talk about how to restart your treatment.
You can take Wegovy with or without food.
If you take too much Wegovy, you may have severe nausea, severe vomiting and severe low blood sugar. Call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away if you experience any of these symptoms.
