How long does it take to reach the maintenance dose of the Wegovy pill?

Reaching the maintenance dose of the Wegovy pill typically takes about 90 days, or around 3 months. Patients usually start at 1.5mg once daily, then increase the dose every 30 days until they reach the recommended maintenance dose of 25mg once daily. This gradual approach helps the body adjust and may reduce side effects.

Key points:

• The initial dose is lower and increases over time.
• It generally takes around 90 days to reach the maintenance dose.
• Gradual dosage increases help manage side effects.
• Monitoring during this period is important for safety and tolerability.
