Semaglutide: Administration & Dosage
Semaglutide is administered via a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, making it a convenient option for weight management. The injection is typically given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You’ll start with a low dose, usually 0.25 mg, to allow your body to adjust to the medication. After four weeks, the dose is gradually increased to 0.5 mg. Depending on your progress and tolerance, the dose may be further increased to 1.0 mg and eventually up to 2.4 mg, the maximum recommended dose for weight loss.
With Semaglutide, you can achieve significant weight loss. Clinical studies have shown that individuals can lose 15% to 18% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Many patients begin noticing weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. By consistently following the treatment plan, incorporating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly, you could experience substantial and sustained weight loss, helping you reach your long-term health goals.
