Educational only — not a prescription. Semaglutide is a prescription medication (Wegovy, Ozempic). Dosage, titration pace, and suitability must be decided with a licensed physician. These estimates come from published STEP trial averages and won't apply to everyone — take our assessment for a plan tailored to you.

// FAQ

Good to know

Why does dosage increase gradually?+

Titration — starting low and stepping up every 4 weeks — is standard practice to let your body adjust and reduce nausea and other GI side effects.

Will I lose exactly this much weight?+

No — these figures are trial averages across a large population. Individual results vary based on dose, adherence, diet, activity, and biology. Your physician will track your actual progress and adjust your plan.

What happens after week 17?+

Most patients reach the 2.4 mg maintenance dose and continue on it for the remainder of treatment, with loss continuing more gradually over the following months.
