What is the maximum dose of the Wegovy pill?
The maximum recommended dose of the Wegovy pill in the US is 25mg once daily. This is different from the Wegovy injection dose because oral and injectable semaglutide are absorbed differently and use different dosing schedules.
In the UK, the Wegovy pill is expected to become available, but no confirmed UK launch date has been set yet. UK dosing should be checked against the approved UK product information once available.
Key points:
- The Wegovy pill is designed for weight management.
- The US recommended maintenance dose is 25mg once daily.
- The pill dose does not directly match the injection dose.
- UK launch details and approved dosing are still pending.
